Research Possible MC Award

[aeroraider]

Hello,
Does anyone have any information on the following individual:
Dudley Shannon David Seaforth Mackenzie
He was apparently awarded a Military Cross during World War Two.
I checked the London Gazette, but it is a fairly common surname and didn't find a match. He immigrated to Canada after the war.
Is there a way to get a medal card for WWII service?
Thanks!

Hi, sadly medal index cards for WW2 service are not yet available. I suspect it will be many years yet before they will be?


Cheers, Ade.

Check the Army Lists for WWII, although he could be a WO rather than an officer.

Unfortunately I don't have any Army Lists, not being able to afford officer type stuff.

Any idea what his regiment was? Most regiments have a list of there MC's winners.

No record of him in the Welch reg and in the 4th BN K.S.L.I medal list,

MC Award

The group is court mounted for wear by Spinks and includes the MC, 39/45 Star, Africa Star, France/Germany Star, War Medal, Coronation ERII, French Legion of Honour and Croix de Guerre 39/40 with palm.

The MC is undated and was sold as a tailor's copy. I thought that perhaps the presence of the 39/40 French award and the undated MC might indicate an award for Dunkirk. The medals came with some papers to the Seaforth Mackenzie family, including a certificate of Canadian citizenship indicating immigration to Canada in 1948.

It is too bad that British record cards are off limits. Canadian records are easier to get hold of.

A long shot - would Spinks have a record of the transaction? (They are still around are'nt they?)

MC Award

Does anyone out there have the relevant nominal rolls for MC awards... or are they unpublished as a group?
