I received this information from Findmypast today:
===============================
We’ve added two record sets to our collection this week, both of which tell the story of foreign-born servicemen who were awarded military medals by the British government between 1914 and 1920.
Including details on nationality and rank, these additions illuminate the sacrifice of an all-too-often-forgotten portion of the Allied war effort.
Military Medals Awarded to Foreigners by the British Government, 1914-1920
Covering the First World War years and beyond, this brand-new set comprises 7,144 medal records.
