1205748 Pte. Samuel Jobling DCM.British Army att. 58th Field Ambulance Royal Army Service Corps from:Cliviger, Burnley Samuel Jobling DCM served with the RASC (MT) attached to 58th Field Ambulance during WW1 and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal whilst serving with the 19th Division.
He was a Motor Ambulance Driver with 3 blue chevrons and noted with one wound stripe. He had enlisted at Burnley on 17th July 1915. He was discharged as being no longer fit for military service on the 18th December 1918. Born in 1892, he was a native of Burnley, Lancashire.
The citation for the D.C.M. published in the London Gazette reads:
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during an enemy attack. For six days he drove his ambulance between the regimental aid posts and advanced dressing stations under heavy shell fire with almost no rest. On one occasion he made fourteen consecutive trips on a road under heavy fire. He undoubtedly saved many lives, and only ceased work when he himself was badly wounded.

233733 Sgt. Joseph Henry Joel MM.British Army 1st Btn. Royal Fusiliers from:Harrow Joseph Joel served with the 1st Btn. Royal Fusiliers during the Great War. My Grandfather appears to have been in various battalions of The Royal Fusiliers over the years.
He was in the1st Battalion for Tibet in 1903-4 and by 1911, he was definitely in the 2nd Battalion in India for the 1911 Census.
He got married to my Grandmother in Colchester on 1 Dec 1914, so it looks like he returned to England earlier than the rest of the 2nd Battalion
His medal card shows that his first theatre of war was France and he arrived there 1st June 1915. (The dates indicate that he was probably in 8th Battalion after he returned from India) which is backed up by his record card which shows a discharge date of 5th Dec 1918 as a Sgt and his unit is showing as 8/R. Fus
My Grandfather was awarded the MM. Whilst we have found the entry in the London Gazette where the MM was awarded, we haven't yet found the citation.
It appears in the London Gazette dated 19th March 1918 (published on 15th March 1918). A very brief entry on page 3465. If anyone could help me track down the corresponding citation I would be hugely indebted to you.
