===WO 100 Medal Rolls at the National Archives===
The National Archive’s records '''WO 100 Medal Rolls''' are available to '''download free of charge''' as pdf files. These records are available on the pay site Ancestry, (refer below) but those do not have access to Ancestry may find the downloads useful. They are large pdf files, which require a broadband connection . For full details refer the National Archive’s advice page [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/digital-microfilm.htm Digital microfilm]
The records are mainly in respect of British Army regiments, although there are some in respect of the Indian Army. Some medals do not appear to have rolls in the WO 100 records, and appear to be only available in the India Office records at the British Library, refer above.
