Thanks. The medal ribbons would fit as he won the Military Medalwhich has three white stripes and he was away from 1915 to 1920ish.
It is all looking right to fit the story. Thank you so much.

World War One / Uniform markings identification - Coldstream Guards WW1
« on: Wednesday 16 November 16 13:53 GMT (UK)  »
I have tried to attach a picture of my Grandfather (Joe Hargreaves-Private Coldstream Guards). I was wondering if anyone could help identify the markings on the uniform cuff and above the left breast pocket?
Many thanks for any help.

I'm a bit puzzled. I got a really helpful message reply from my post but can't see how to reply to say thankyou.
Also I thought there were some other posts/messages which referred to my post but now I can't find them as they looked really good as well. Is there a procedure or knack that I need to use when reading replies/posts?
Thanks for any help,
Winston

World War One / WWI Joe HARGREAVES Military Medal
« on: Thursday 25 October 12 17:24 BST (UK)  »
This is my first posting so apologies if I make any mistakes and please let me know.
My grandfather was awarded the Military Medal in WWI. I would like to find out why he was awarded the medal and any details about his war service. Does anybody have any suggestions?
My grandfathers name was:
Joseph HARGREAVES, private 11714, 13th Company, Coldstream Guards, Entered 22nd January 1915.
I have tried contacting the Coldstream Guards but unfortunately his records were destroyed in the blitz during WWII.
Thank you in advance.
