204679 Sjt. William Wolstenholme MM. & BarBritish Army 2nd Btn. Royal Scots from:Blackburn I am in possession of 4 documents & 4 medals relating to my Grandfather Williamm Wolstenholme, who died when I was a small child. All the papers tell me about his military service are that:
- Promoted Sergeant 4.9.1915.
- 31.7.17 Mentioned for Gallant & Distinguished Conduct in the Field
- Routine B(o?)rders No 2958 11.8.17 Capt Edgar

- Brought to Notice for Gallant & Distinguished conduct in Action 21-28.3.1918 J K Murray Capt
- Awarded Bar to M M 5.1918. J K Murray Adjt.
After the war he started a bakery business & was also a Baptist Minister. I am told that he never spoke about his war service, the papers & medals only came to light after his death. I would like to know if it is possible to find out the exact circumstances which led to his citations?
