Sorry in advance if this is inappropriate and Admin please delete if so.

I'm at the National Archives in London all next week and feel free to drop me a message if you'd like any files or war diaries copying whilst I'm there. In short I charge 10p per page to copy any complete file.

Cheers
Andy

Thats fine Drew. It's a good service to the members.

Thanks Al. Anything I get that's RWF etc related I'll pass on to you for the Museum :)

Is it likely you could find an award citation for a MM to Charles Sharp MM #17279 RFA gazetted in the London Gazette 19/03/1918? It would be great to find out what the award was given for.

I can do WW2 citations for free but I believe WW1 citations don't exist (happy to be proven wrong). I'm guessing you don't know what regiment of the Royal Field Artillery he was in?

As you guess Drew, I do not have his regiment. I have a copy MIC and medal rolls for him, also the LG pages printed out but none appear to list his unit.

WW1 soldiers are so hard to research which is why I tend to steer clear. I know very little about my own grandfathers service during WW1.

No problem Drew, your answer is much as I expected.
