I e-mailed the address given and after sending a donation, received details of my Great Uncle's war record, including his Victory Medal. I found all this out in time for Rememberance Sunday! Wow, that was quick work!

	Many thanks to you both. I'll try the national archives now. Sue

	Can anyone advise whether I am looking in the wrong place for an award of a military medal. On the discharge papers for Sergeant Reuben Baker in 1920 it refers to "awarded military medal London Gazette on 24.1.19". I have been through the London Gazette for that date and can't find anything on this. Tips would be welcome Thanks Sue
