This post is a step by step guide on how to download the free medal rolls from the National Archives.
What you need
1. The identifier for the medal roll you are interested in. If it is a QSA roll that you are seeking, look at this page for the index . For a KSA, click here . You are looking for an identifier in the form of WO100/xxx, for example WO100/119. If you seek the roll for a different medal, you can search the National Archives for it. It will likely be in the form WO100/xxx.
