My Great Grandfather was wounded in France 20/1/1918 and as a result had his left leg amputated. I understand anyone discharged during WW1 due to injuries received was awarded the Silver Medal. I have a copy of my GGF's military service record but there is no mention of him receiving this medal. Does this mean he didn't get one and if not can anyone think of any reasons why he wouldn't? Maybe he just slipped through the bureaucratic cracks as he wasn't discharged until December 1918.
He served with the 3rd East Lancashire Brigade Royal Field Artillery.
