Help with Victory Medal

[zachb]

Hi, This is the only British medal I have ever owned and not a field I collect in. I am trying to research the name impressed on this medal:

"Lieut. H. G. B. Hopkins"

I've located a few newspaper articles from the London Gazette and I believe this officer may have been Henry Greenfield Berkeley Hopkins in the Nottingham & Derbyshire Regiment? This is as much information as I have been able to find. Any help in finding information or advice on a source I could investigate would be kindly received. Thanks Zach

Gentlemen I am overwhelmed by your kind assistance. Thank you so much for your help. This makes me appreciate this medal even more.

Also, and of course I don't know why, but it didn't occur to me that Hopkins could have been a casualty.

Was the "Machine Gun Corp" its own unit or was its personnel dispersed throughout the Army?

Thanks again for all the help. Paddywhack PM inbound.

Oh, I see on the medal index card reference to the Nottingham & Derbyshire Regiment.
