Hi Natjam
One of the first to War! Entered Theatre 16/8/14 thats the earliest ive seen...With 15th Highlanders he was pre war regular with low number.
Entitled to 1914 star british war and victory medals also entitled to clasp and roses for 1914 star as he came under fire the cut off date was Nov 22nd 1914 for clasp and roses.
(you had to apply for clasp and roses)

Ah thanks.  I've got his medical history - part of which ive copied here for handwritting id request!  It would appear he was sent back from France because of something I can't quite make out.  Anyone make sense of this?
Most grateful for any help as always

I agree with you Ady.

The last word may be "old", as in a previously existing / recurring condition.
I.C.T. has got me beat.

The T could be tumour. I don't think the C is cancerous, as he was only in hospital for four days. He basically had a lump in his armpit and they removed it. Or, if the I is inflammed, they gave him drugs to reduce the swelling.

If he received the roses he must have survived the war. His NoK wouldn't have had any use for them.

 Intercostal Chest Tube (I C T)

It looks like  they have inserted a tube, via his arm pit, to drain fluid from his chest,

Just put me off me bacon sarny now,

Thanks guys!!  Do you happen to know if service men in the Kings Hussars who served in South Africa for a couple of years from 1910 would have recieved a medal?
