MENTION IN DESPATCHES | WW1 CUSTOM CERTIFICATE WITH PERSONLISED INSCRIPTION

Description: Honor YOUR military ancestors’ military achievements with a Replica ‘Mentioned in Despatches’ certificate The “Mention in Despatches” is the most junior form of recognition that was announced in the London Gazette. The Commanders-in-Chief of each theatre of war infrequently submitted a despatch to the War Office, outlining the events since the previous despatch and listing those men who had been nominated as worthy of a mention. Originally there was no award as such, the literal mention of the individual in the despatch being deemed sufficient. However, it was decided during the Great War that an oak leaf emblem could be worn with the ribbon of the Victory Medal, denoting the mention. The mentioned man also received a certificate carrying his service details and a reference to the despatch in which he was mentioned. No complete index or register of those who were mentioned exists, although the National Archives has a partial list. All are listed in the London Gazette. The mention did not entitle the man to use the letters MID after his name for official purposes, although this form is seen from time to time We offers a superb reproduction of the ‘Mentioned in Despatches’ certificate, printed on high quality Art Paper, which will be inscribed with the recipients Rank, Name and Regiment in the same style as appears on the original scrolls.
