Cpl. Frederick Harman MM.
British Army 17th Btn. London Regiment
from:Camberwell
Frederick Harman was my great grandfather. It has been difficult to get information because he died when my grandmother was only 10, due to respiratory illness suffered since WW1 when he suffered gas poisoning. It has been more difficult as it appears that his military records were destroyed. I know that he was initially with 17th London Regiment, then the Labour Corps. He was awarded the Military Medal - the only information I have is the following: "The military decoration was awarded to F. Harman for acts of gallantry and devotion to duty under fire or for individual or associated acts of bravery which were insufficient to merit the Distinguished Conduct Medal." It was announced in the London Gazette (no. 29854) on 8th December 1916, page 12046.
