John Wardell medal card

[Pat Byrne]

Its Pat again lol
Now i am researching my GreatGrandfather on my dads side.
John Wardell is from Dublin and i have his medal card what i believe is his i would like someone to decipher for me.
As a novice all this military jargon baffles me.
Also if i obtained the service record for John Wardell would it list his next of kin or address details?
Many thanks for helping.

Thankyou forester   
For a very interesting reply,meaning there wasn't a death,which will still give me room to search more of John movements after his discharge 
if i obtained the service record for John Wardell would it list his next of kin or address details
Thank's again Pat

Phil  ;DThank you soooo much you can't imagine what a find you have found for me
I have been working on my family tree for 3 years now ,and that is amazing what took you all of 10 mins to find,you even have Bridget as one of the children (my Grandma on my Dads side) who was named actually Susan at birth,Bridget was baptised in 1974 as Bridget, which i only came across by accident the night before we visited Dudlin last year,i was sure Bridget was the first born,i haven't had much luck finding John's ,i then found her mothers name as Catherine Sheridan,Lower Tyrone St and Gardiner St has come up a lot on my family tree
I have John and Catherine marriage cert it says John was a labourer? when they married 1909
Thank's again Pat

It's easy when you're reading from his service record 

John was actually a Special Reservist with 5th Battalion pre-war.

I'll be in touch soon.
