Hi Ritterton.

Quote:
1. This was awarded in the field, near the end of the War - but would this be called the Citation?
Ussualy there was no Citation for the award.

Quote:
2. There is a number 16070 - would that be indicating that this is the 16,070 IC awarded? Army wide? Nation wide? Or is this number meaning something else?
There was over 1.000.000 IC2 awarded in WW1. The number has another meaning.

Quote:
3. Is an IC citation like this "traceable" back to the incident for which it was awarded? Meaning, can a person trace the citation back to the medal nomination? If so, is that something that is a record by record unit based search? National level search?
Not possible. There are no lists of IC awarded during WW1.

Regards Alex
