Douglas Jr. Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Hi folks,Sorry my ignorance concerning English decorations, but I would like to know if there is a list of MM awarded for galantry during the Arnhem battles in 1944. Or, is it possible to know if a certain guy (which I only have the surname and possible unit) was in fact awarded with this medal?Douglas.
Ed_Haynes Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 While it is fairly cranky to use, the online London Gazette -- http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0 -- can be used to search for gallantry award winners. If the surname isn't too common, this should be the way to go.
Douglas Jr. Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 Ed,Thanks once more for the tip. However, I have been checking the site but it seems that the tools available only allow the search regarding the VC, MC, DCM and MSM. I assume that will be necessary to contact them by e-mail about the MM. The surname is not a common one .Wishes,Douglas.

There may be some looking and, as I say, the system is far less than perfect. Still, better than using the paper index to the LG.
Douglas Jr. Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 Ed,Thanks again. I didn't find anything under the name I have. Thus, I assume that such guy never was not awarded, as it was told me.Regards,Douglas.
