Joseph Benfield
Hi. Regarding your question above, Wikipedia does not automatically hold article for recipients of the Military Medal. For British personnel, only recipients of the Victoria Cross are automatically considered as suitable for inclusion. That is not to say that no Wikipedia article can ever be written about your grandfather but that will depend on whether or not he is sufficiently notable in the Wikipedia sense of the term. You can read the details of this guideline but basically, you should prove that your grandfather has been the subject of significant coverage by third-party sources. If that's the case, let me know and I'll help you write the article. Best, Pichpich (talk) 14:02, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
