This is really two quick questions:
1) Are WW1 medal cards for nurses on Ancestry or is it just army ones? On the NA site the ref for army appears to be WO372/14 but nurses are WO372/23 which are downloadable from the NA site
this leads to my second quick question
2) I'm taking the plunge and going to Kew on 18 October particularly to look at WW1 nurses records (I wanted to look at DRs as well but it appears from the site that all those records were destroyed in 1922 as the majority only had temporary commissions) however my question is this: is there still a charge to view the downloadable info (e.g the nurses meal cards) even if you are viewing it at Kew?
That probably sounds parsimonious but I'm not absolutely certain that all the ladies I have listed are my family and I don't want to needlessly waste money.
Sorry if these are foolish questions - but I'm fast escaping from my comfort zone and entering areas of family research that are new to me - but to take it further I have to take the plunge - somebody pass me the water wings :o
