Could someone advise please about Gallantry Medals, First World War. My Uncle has asked if I could find out which medals his father was awarded in the First World War. I have been able to find the campaign medals for him on ancestry but I don’t know whether he was awarded gallantry medals. Could someone advise please, the easiest way to find a record for gallantry medals. I have had a look on the London Gazette but not been able to find anything as yet and I would really like to find if he was awarded any gallantry medals as my uncle would be really pleased to find out. |

Any Gallantry medals should be in the London Gazette, but the site is difficult to search! What was his name and number? |

His name was Alfred Lawless and his regiment number was 21534. |

Sorry, couldn't see anything. If he went on to serve in WW2, records of Recommendations for Honours and Awards can be downloaded from the documentsonline site |

Thanks very much for looking, it is very much appreciated. My uncle told me that Alfred died in 1931. Anyway at least I was able to find a record of the campaign medals for him. |
