I thought the scans of the WW1 medal cards from the NA site were not very nice to print and keep with medals, so I have created a blank card in Photoshop. I then copied just the writing from the scan and pasted onto the blank. Looks really nice now. Anyone want a copy of the blank card let me know Fred

Talking of record cards, is there anything recorded on the BACK of the medal cards? I just wondered as I wanted to print out my Gt Grandfather's but thought if there was anything written on the back I would only get the front image and might as well wait until my trip to London. Claire xx

Claire, Some do have extra information on the back. That was one of the reasons there was an outcry when it was suggested that now they had been filmed the originals could be destroyed.
