It looks like his brother Oscar was wounded

Private Oscar CARTER, Stretcher Bearer, Field Ambulance.

Wounded in Action on 24th March [1918]

Second son of Mr. and Mrs. Carter of Norton House, Longhope

He had been on active service for 2 years. His youngest brother is a Prisoner of War

Was he awarded the MM medal in the First World War to your knowledge?

Hi,
sadly Slowhands doesn't post on the forum any more, a great shame...
If you have access to a subscription website such as Ancestry, the best bet is to search his Army records, sadly at the mo I don't have a subscription (altho it can be access for free from publicl libraries). Altho' about 2/3 of the WW1 Service Record documents were lost during WW2, the vast majority of Medal Index cards survive and images are on Ancestry, and that will be marked "MM" etc for any medal awarded.
Alternatively, the newspapers would probably have reported it, but my search on the BNA website hasn't produced anything yet. Ditto the London Gazette site, altho past experience tells me that this can be a tricky site to search and probably needs more time.

Thank you for the information.
I'm researching another Jack Lane ( Coldstream Guards)who was killed in North Africa 1942 and it appears they were related.
Jack Hawkins Lane emigrated to Australia and a relative of his is also looking for information on Jack Lane who died in WW2.
