The National Archives in London has the Medal Rolls for the following, they can be accessed online through Ancestry. (see here for the difference between the Medal Rolls and Medal Cards). Indian and West Indian rolls are also available but have not been included as they are not split into theatres where served. Many of those with medal cards are already listed on the GWAA Names of those who survived and died. The others are being added as time allows (or others kindly provide information).
For awards – monetary and medal, take a look at the General Routine Orders (some are already collated on tab 2 of the GWAA Names list, and are at WO 123/288 and WO 123/289) and in the Gazettes – London, Kenya, South Africa (Union and High Commission).
