Dotty, I know you are interested in researching various archives, so I wonder if you can help me please.
I am writing an article for a local magazine about John Raphael Peacey. Apparently he received a Military Cross during WW1, but I have been unable to get confirmation of this, despite looking on various websites that list medal recipients.
Do you know of any websites that I am likely to find that information.
Many thabks

Perhaps you could ask him for his source?

Hi Chris,
That link is brilliant, I do a series of articles for the local church magazine about hymns and hymn writers, so I shall make use of it.
Regarding J R Peacey, I shall certainly contact the author of that article, thanks for the email address. I think I am right in saying that the Military Cross was only awarded to offices, so if that is so, he must have had a commission.
