Has anyone ordered one of these before and what info does it have on it? I have several William Endley's who served, but how do I know which card belongs to which William? Thank you R x |

Hi Rebecca I ordered one for a distant relative and there wasn't a great deal of info on it other than his name, army no. and medal entitlement. Best wishes Maria |

I agree with Miriam. You don't really get any useful information on the medal card. It doesn't help you to narrow down your search. I have heard that the army record is a better source of information [National Archives, I think] |
