Instructions for the use of this Roll:

This Roll lists the names of the recipents of the LSGC and MSM in my collection. I have research for these men at various stages in the research process, some further along than others. Also the write-ups are at various stages of completion and are at various degrees of application in the presentation template that is currently in use. This template has been developed over 20 some years of collecting and has many editions. The men listed in this roll may or may not have web pages on this site. If you find the name you are looking for on this roll you will have to check the website surname index for this site to determine if there are web pages. WEBSITE SURNAME INDEX You can search this page by using the Windows "FIND IN PAGE" search under "EDIT". If you know of a soldier on this list I will be happy to share my research in exchange for the details that you may know about a soldier, or a soldiers family. Good luck, I hope you find your man.
