You may be wondering why the links to the citations are missing?

Maybe this can provide a answer:

All Military Medals issued are named, usually in impressed capitals. They also have a notification in the London Gazette. However, it is rare to find a citation for the Military Medal in the London Gazette. It is possible that the reasons for the award will be found in the Regimental War Diary of the individual’s unit.

We’d love to hear your stories, or experiences, about your time with the serving regiment, or one of our antecedent regiments.

Stories can relate to, but are not limited to:

* your experiences whilst serving;
* family life, home or overseas;
* places you enjoy visiting;
* or, photos of 5 objects that mean something to you and tell the story of who you are.

Your stories will be used as inspiration for future exhibitions, or even feature in the “articles” section.

You can send your entries in a range of formats such as photographs, artwork, drawings, in writing or via a short video.

To submit your stories, in the first instance, please phone the Curator on: 01926 402459.

Please note: By submitting any creative work or inspiration to this campaign, you are giving permission for your work to be used in future exhibitions and to be shared on the website.
