When you say copied, do you mean transcribed? Most records have more detail in the image than in the transcript, that applies to most sites I find It was the National Archives that didn't scan the backs of the medal cards, Ancestry have them although only approximately 2% of medal cards have anything extra on the other part Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Many thanks, Nivard.

I don't imagine we will ever see them again because, as you know, they were accepted by the Western Front Association and are now stored in a secret vault or some such place. - - Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Famous family trees blog: http://blog.findmypast.co.uk/tag/roy-stockdill/ "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
