Help with Canadian WW1 M.M, M.I.D and Trio

[nzef1940]

I am hoping someone may be able to help with some information about the recipient of this group.

A M.M citation would be great, I know nothing about Canadian groups and look forward to learning.

Poor images sorry, not mine, but medals named to Pte A May or Kay or Hay ? 434607? 43 Canadian Infantry?

Thanks in advance.

and this is why i now collect british medals!the info even for the lower ranks can be amazing

[nzef1940]

I was looking on e-medals and all the WW1 Canadian M.M's have citations, I know it is rare to find Brit WW1 M.M citations, but N.Z and Australian ones are listed.

Can any one help re a citation for this group please?

Thanks Darrell

One step closer to the M.M and M.I.D citations.

It might be in his War File (in Ottawa), mentioned in the War Diaries or Regimental History. However, chances are you wont find exactly what he earned the MM.
