There's no Roger Foster listed but there is a Major T B Foster listed, could this be your man?

 

Perhaps it was ROGER FORSTER ?

good day mr jinks,bit of a cad?? yesterday.09:19am.thank you for your reply.thats the one.regards bernard85

 

Glad you found your man Bernard85 however, sadly there's nothing listed for him.

 

Skip, may I seek another look up please, this one relates to Ralph Chalkley RAOC. Ralph initially joined the RNVR and was mentioned as part of the MEF at the Dardanelles. He transferred to the Army in 1915 and was mentioned again in Dec 1917 as a Lt Royal Artillery. He subsequently received the GM in Dec 1940 and an OBE in Apr 1945 for Burma so an impressive service record. The RAOC Gazette records him as having been mentioned 4 times but no dates. Are you able to find the other 2 mentions please.

Regards John

 

Hello John

The only CHALKLEY that appears in the WW2 books is 180761 CHALKLEY A F Lt RAC-Royal Tank Regt 09/08/45

All the best

Skip

 

Thanks for looking Skip, that means the Corps records are incorrect or the other 2 awards were in WW1. Back to the LG and its dreaded search engine then.

Regards, John

When you get chance, can you please look up , Army. 3392229. Marshall. Eric. Pte. 2/7th Mx Regt. The/ of Operations Italy. June 1944.
It has been noted in his AB 64 book, but not in the Regt book.

Thank-you in Advance of your time.

Hi Stuart,

Nothing listed for your man! Sorry!

 

Hi 52nd A Thank-you for your time on that, ha well never mind another question answered.


Regards Stuart.

 

Skip, I have 285717 Lt Eric Atkins RAOC listed with an MBE but the Army List of 1945 suggests he also has an MiD. I would be grateful for a look up to verify if he does have an MID alongside his MBE.

Much regards, John

 

Hello John,

I'm afraid I'm away from home (and my books) for a bit. If no one else has answered by the time I'm back I will of course look him up.

All the best

Skip

 

As ever Skip, Im sure all of us who seek a "look up" will always appreciate that it is done at your convenience. Enjoy your break away.

Regards, John

 

John - got back late last night and have just checked ... nothing for Atkins I'm afraid

All the best

 

Hi Skip, thanks for looking him up.

Regards John

 

Hello Skip,

Im seeking a look up for RB Stringer RAOC who appears to have received a MID. Hitherto, his name has not popped up in any of the RAOC histories that list wartime awards. The next time you browse your Volumes of Honour Those Mentioned, can you see if his name is recorded therein please.

Best regards, John

 

Hello John,

Nothing I'm afraid - the only RAOC STRINGER was a double MiD recipient and has the initials AL.

All the best

Skip

 

Once again Skip, Ive got AL Stringer (x2), many thanks for your look-up support.

Regards John

 

Only saw this post now, can I ask Pretty please to check my dad Lcpl W A Holder 237 Royal Natal Carbineers,1st Brigade, MID for gallantry in escaping from enemy.
