What are pre-set date ranges?
Pre-set date ranges are intended to help users to filter searches to the correct period of Gazettes. The ranges reflect the timing in which events and there results appear in the Gazettes and not the timing of the actual event. This may reflect delays in the timing of news reaching the United Kingdom or it may simply be that military awards were announced after the event. For example, the pre-set date range for World War I is 28th June 1914 to 31st December 1920 as many awards were announced after the armstice to celebrate brave deeds, victory and participation.
