In the further info. You supply John would be interesting to find out if this mbe mentioned was issued under a civilian or military warrant. It would show on the warrant itself. A copy again would be in the chancellery. JS

Marian’s link to Lawson’s medal card from the first world war stored at the National Archive gives a document that has the name of the Eastern Telegraph Company and an adddress of Electra House in Moorgate. A google search of the address gives a result that shows how important that address was to national security as the telegraph cables of every embassy in London were routed through it.
