In the Forsyth medal roll it states: 'Of the ten it appears that seven, could have been the victims of careless recording, but the other three, viz - to Nurse G.A. Rogers, Pte P.A. Williams, C.M.R. and L / Sgt. J. Wilson, C.M.R., show undeniable evidence that their medals were issued without a clasp.'
