CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities. This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund. Messages soliciting sponsorship for causes or charities other than the Fusilier ones mentioned above should not be placed on the message board and may be removed by the Webmaster.

It's an unfortunate fact that millions of military records were destroyed during the London Blitz when the War Office Central Records Depository at Arnside Street was engulfed by incendiary bombs. A small number of records were recovered from the Depository and are now held at the National Archives in what are referred to as the Burnt Records Collection. The biggest losses to the military historian were the Service Records of individual WW1 Veterans. I have searched the collection but can find nothing further on James Judge. His Medal Card and Record of Medal Entitlement along with the information held by the Forces War Records Web Site are the only details available on line. Genealogy Web Sites such as ancestry.com, findmypast.com and similar search engines can sometimes be helpful, but it must be bourne in mind that all their information will have been gleaned from the National Archives. It is the only source of accurate and verifiable information relating to WW1 Veterans.

PS..I have emailed you copies of his Medal Card and Regimental Entry confirming his Medal Entitlement.
