Looking for

[Paul Davies 701]

I'm looking for further information on a Private 225203 Albert Charles Ralph. I think he was a dispatch rider in the Welch Regiment in WWII. I know he won the Military Medal but i don't know why

[Baconwallah]

Pte Albert Charles Ralph 1263 served with the 1st Bn Monmouthshire Regt (TF). He was renumbered 225203 from 01/03/1917.
No service of pension records found.

Hi John

Thanks for this. Its strange there is no record of him winning his Military Medal

[Baconwallah]

His MM was gazetted 19/08/1919. MM citations were not published.

He arrived in France 13/02/1915 and was demobbed 24/01/1919.

Thanks John

Its a shame they didn't publish his citation then it would be interested to know how he got his award.https://rwf-forum.co.uk/vBulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=7149&stc=1 not sure what the other medals are

[Baconwallah]

I think he got his MM on what was known as a General Citation. Not for any specific act but in response to a request like "name me twenty men who did consistently good work."
