Pam, Conventional wisdom generally states 2-3 months as the norm, however there can be very wide variations. I looked at one Gazette recently in which two MM awards were announced to men in the same infantry brigade. One was for an event 3 months earlier, the other 15 months earlier.

The idea is to attempt to search the appropriate war diary for some indication as to the possible events/action leading to the award? If it helps with comments on this the date I am interested in is November 1916 , guessing that the time lag could be partly dependant on the amount of activity at the time.
