Hi I thought I would bring this to the attention to anyone who didnt know, and if it has been mentioned before then sorry.....But the Western Front Association have started offering a service where they will send you a colour scan of the front and rear of a medal card for £5. From the WFA:- 'In 1985 the National Archive, at Kew, started to microfiche the cards. For a variety of reasons they were only able to do one side of the cards. However it transpires that the backs of many of the cards hold additional information of historical interest.' The address is: WFA, P.O. Box 1918, Stockport, SK4 4WN. There is also a short video clip www(.)vision-news(.)tv/news/vision-news-somme(.)html
