We believe my mother-in-law's uncle Henry Wilson was awarded the Croix de Guerre, but where do we search to find out more about it please ? He was born in South Shields in 1879 and enlisted as an 18 year old at the Royal Artillery until 1903, after which there is a gap until approx. 1914-18 - but we do not know where or when he served at that time.

Regards Mrs. L. Taylor

The Henry Wilson listed above (Gritty) was discharged from the RA 5th Oct 1903..he appears to have had a record of "Deserting" more than once....!! Cant find anything later..
