Nice finds Jahwhin.
Medal collectors over the years have been despondent at the loss of the Military Medal citations in the 1940 blitz. The Newspapers appear to be the saving grace to this situation, at least for a good percentage. The closest Military Medal to a 'local' I have is one to a chap in the Northumberland Hussars from north of Morpeth (name of the place escapes me at the moment). Helpfully for the Northumberland Hussars the citations were published in the regimental history, but I expect they are going to turn up in the newspaper archive as well.
