I have another question now, please Ann, if that's OK.
Another g.uncle, who was in the 1st Northants, was KIA on 29 Oct 1918. His medal card shows that he was awarded the MM. I think I had assumed that it was for something that happened in the battle/skirmish/whatever that killed him, but not I realise that might not have bee the case.
So, my question is, is it a given that he would have been mentioned in the diary on/around the date of his heroic act, or not?
If so, I'll just have to trawl backwards through the diary until I either find him or not.
Thanks
