:'''Note''': The WO 329 medal rolls available at the National Archives appear to only contain some of the medal entitlements for soldiers in the Indian Army. It appears that some of the medals may have been issued in India but although the the British Library appears to have a medal roll for the 1914-1915 Star, it is unclear what rolls for other medals are available. Refer "British Library records" below.
:The medal rolls are available on the pay site Ancestry. Transcriptions are available on the pay website Findmypast. Transcription of some/all of the WO 329 medal rolls are available on the pay site "Naval and Military Archive". See [[Medal Rolls#External links| External links below]].
