	Is it 1st world war? If you give name etc we can find it. Some [people can access other records too. Not sure you can put image onto this site, but you can attach it as an email by sending a PM. I am happy to look, as will others I am sure. Jan

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 115 Send Message	That's what I thought ... Can't work out what the crosses with dots around mean?
Member Since: July 2006 Posts: 21,823 Send Message	brummiejan	Report	30 Sep 2012 16:49
	Do you think the Victory medal was taken back due to this 'misconduct'? The cross next to the entries sort of implies that. Hope someone else is looking too! Jan

Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 115 Send Message	Yes it sounds a bit naughty! Doesn't it! Are there records of the misconduct I can trace?

	I don't know Ellen. We need more input here! If nobody else can help, maybe you could try finding people with an interest in the 1914-18 war? I did a google search and found this forum, but no doubt there are others: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?act=idx Have you considered contacting an Imperial War Museum? There seem to be several! http://www.iwm.org.uk/connect/contact-us Jan
