Hi Lisa

Medal Card information is held at the National Archives website - go to this website

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/medals.asp

and this tells you about the medal cards and what you can find on them - they cost £3 to dowload.

Hi, Try typing in The Long Long Trail, you will find all sorts of information in this site, also gives a seperate page on how to decipher Medal Cards, too numerous to mention all the different things that can be searched on this site.
Good Luck,
Liz
