Medal Roll Query

[Nancy]

Hi , I have the WW1 Medal Index Card for William Howell - card states of
the 10 th Batt Worcester Reg and also RDC . He was wounded/invalided out of the army with medals - Victory,British, 15 Star and SWB List - i'm trying to find out what the codes on the Medal Card & relating to his medals mean - before each entry are the letters " TP" .
Can anybody please enlighten me about this code /reference ?

Kind regards ,
Nancy

I have a group to a man in the 4th Londons, also marked TP before each entry. Is it not just the identification for the roll concerned, no special meaning? Please correct me if wrong.

Best regards,
Lars

Hi Lars ,

Thanks for your reply - regarding the meaning(or not?) of the letters "TP" on a Medal Index Card .
I'm not sure if the letters are a reference or symbol but i have been informed that if the soldier in question - William Howell - had been awarded his medals by his 10th Worcester Reg then the letters/code would have been "L/102B **** and the SWB would have been L/A/****,
but only "TP" followed by the numbers appear here which i guess relate to the Medal Roll ?
Interestingly i have another relative's MIC in a different regiment for his WW1 service and he also has "TP" before each of his medals .
Hope someone can help with this ,
Regards ,
Nancy

tp is the london record office code which covers the royal defence corps as well as the london regiments, h.a.c. and the royal fusiliers
