Glitter Baby,
Thanks for your reply. I've just changed my heading to ask for a lookup.
Could someone look up the medal card index please?

I'm looking for James SWINDLE - may be under a variation of SWINDALE, SWINDLER or similar.
I've got all his details from the Commonwealth graves commission, but wondering about his medals etc.
He died on 31.7.17 aged 23, at France/Flanders.
He was born in Whitfield, Northumberland.
He was in the 24th Coy Machine Gun Corps Infantry. He was a L/Cpl
Previously been in the 22141, Border Regt.

Thanks.

Ancestry do have the medal cards

The medals, if any awarded, would have been forwarded to next of kin so you might get lucky and find a card

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.

Hi,
Is it Ancestry who have the medal card indexes from WW1?
If so, would someone who was killed in WW1 be on the list?
