peron Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Can anyone help me in translate what all those remarks are in this medal roll card? And if someone could possibly give me some more info about this lieutenant? Thanks
peter monahan Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Hello Peron I'm having trouble reading the card - not your fault! - but I can give you some info. and makes some guesses. John George Christopher Siems WAS a Lt in the London Regiment and was entitled to a BWM and VM. Record shown below. It looks as if he had to apply for the medals because he was living in Barcelona. My guess woud be that they were originally sent to the address where he said he planned to live, probably in England, and were returned because he had moved with no forwarding address. This was not that uncommon and many medals were not sent out until 1920, 2'1 or '22, so people had moved. I hope that helps a bit. Peter
