Can anybody please see a medal card for this Army Chaplain please ? ... I can't see him !! London Gazette 26th June 1915 Reverend Jerome Walsh commissioned as a Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class He arrived in Boulogne June 26th 1915 - his service record is under Jerome ... but his real name is Timothy ! Thanking you in advance ! Annie
I found 4 Walsh's who were Chaplains .... and none of them are him .... he should have qualified for medals shouldn't he ?? He served for 4 years and 3 months Medal card of Walsh, Joseph Corps: Royal Army Chaplain's Department Rank: Reverend 1914-1920 WO 372/20 Medal card of Walsh, Bernard Thomas Corps: Royal Army Chaplain's Department Rank: Reverend 1914-1920 WO 372/20 Medal card of Walsh, Cyril Corps: Royal Army Chaplain's Department Rank: Reverend 1914-1920 WO 372/20 Medal card of Walsh, David Bernard Corps: Royal Army Chaplain's Department Rank: Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class... 1914-1920 WO 372/20
Yes, he'd have qualified, but, as an (equivalent of an) officer rank,he'd have had to apply for them. No application = no MIC.
Ohhhhh ! ..... thats why my others did .... it's written all over their cards !! He was shell shocked ... and probably the medals were the last thing on his mind !! Thanks Fritz !
