Im still trying to find out anything about my Grandad David Wood Rodley and his MM award. Any hints/tips welcome.

See previous post, page 3 i think.

 

Only the WW2 ones are online and free. I think you may need to visit the national archives to see WW1 citations.

 

James Nicholson Howson was my Grandfather. I am trying to pinpoint the area of the action where he earned his medal. I hope to visit there next year with my father and son. Any/all information and maps would be a tremendous help...

Hello. If you can get to the National Archives I would suspect his units war diary (6 DLI) will contain the infomation you are after.
