Hi In the case of my relative, he earned himself the MM on July 3rd-4th 1916, was officially awarded it in mid-August but received it in December that year when he was back home from the front for a while. Hope that helps.

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.
