Medal index card question

[nobeard]

Hi, does anyone know what this means? It is written on the reverse side of a medal index card, usually they are left blank, i cannot work it out.
Thanks

Normally the notes on the reverse side relate to the distribution of the medals and can often be in the form of notes and symbols that made sense to the clerks who wrote them - but who knows what they might mean now - although the last bit does look like a date - 3/11 3rd November?  - does that have any relevance to what you know about this man?

Hi,
Actually i know very little about him, i found the medal index card because i have got the bloke's British War Medal, i was hoping to find if he had any descendants who would want it, but the index card is all i've found, no other records.
Here's the other side of it, the medal is inscribed "1932 PTE H. WALKER. DURH.L.I.".

So far we know that he joined the army in 1915 and checking
the Commonweath War Graves Commission records it appears that he was not killed/die during the war.

I will say he joined up in 1914, and moved overseas in 1915. He did not moved/post to the Labour Corps until May-Sept 1918 going of his number.


To see which Bn of the DLI you will need to have a look at his BWM & VM page in the LC medal book.

It probably relates to when the cards were microfilmed in the 1980s. You find them every so often. So will be how they were batched for filming. I think you can safely ignore anything in pencil. Unless GLR or GR is around to enlighten us.

Think its just clerical markings

His number is a Territoril Battalion and marrying it up with deployment date i came up with 1/5th Batt...the others 1/6th,1/7th deployed a day later.
