    There are two MICs for 18082 Bryan, I suspect one is for his MM as it only has the initial T. Might be worth checking with CWGC, they may have missed the award in their scanning process.

    Edit: yes, its in WO373/23 which contains MMs and DCMs

    Entry for Military Medal for Pte. T Bryan found, LG 19 Feb 1917. CWGC have no record of it. It will be added. Unlike name changes which are usually updated immediately, the awards will not be done until they release the new system. Thanks due to Terry.

    His Father's MM was awarded for carrying the wounded to safety.

    Thanks for the link. I see the headstone has the MM - it's not on CWGC's paperwork/computer records! It will be sorted.

    Good stuff. And all from a randomly selected name too. Another result for the forum! :)
