Hi,
I read the article on Lieutenant-Colonel Hovell, and his enlisting under an assumed name during WWI. Is it known under what name he served in France and whether any medals were issued?

Have a look at this article, it might help to explain why there is no medal card for him.

just replace the stars with forward slashes.

Cheers

Morning Lars,
I do not know anything of this man, sorry but he did crop up on the Forum before. If you put "Hovell" in the search box his previous will pop up.
Best Regards Mike
