Michael Yes, I've noticed it too, from just searching the catalogues online at the NA. I'm not sure if my gt grandfather Henry Carney was the first to join up or if he came from a long line of soldiers. Going to look into it soon, May just be the very common surname of course I don't think the medal is for one of mine, but thanks for telling me about it Graham many thanks for that list, it helps a lot Caryl

Thanks Arthur Sorry I hadn't realised that anyone had replied here Caryl

His five sons joined the East Yorkshire Regiment, having been educated at the Royal Hibernian Military School.
