at the moment it seems that my father was in the 6th batalion lincolnshire regt in the first world war he was awarded a military medal in june 1917 which means the deed he did was some time before this date but according to information i have got so far his regt was training most of the months before i was wondering as a lot of other battalions were desamated would part of one battalion been seconded to fight with another one as other linc battalions were fighting on the months before
