It looks like "deleted from suspense list/9 Auth 13913  and the campaign is the British Expeditionary Force 1914.

As to what it means I would suspect you will need to see his service record which may explain it better

Suspense List was, as suggested, for when the award of medals was not to proceed for the present. It could be while they were the subject of a court martial or other inqury. If the man's record has not survived you will probably never know why his claim was suspended.

Another reason, in the case of officers promoted from the ranks, was that the War Office wanted to ensure he had not received his medals as a result of his experience in the ranks. I don't suppose you can tell from the card how long he was on the Suspense List?

It seems to imply a court martial

Have a look at this  link to Great War Forum search for "Suspense list"

In particular on that link you will find

"Temporary 2nd Lieutenant Joseph John. Houlihan 3rd Battalion, The Connaught Rangers is dismissed the Service by sentence of a General Court-Martial 11 Oct 1918. Suspense List/B1"

" he has two MICs. The second gives his name as Percival Claude Cockerell and includes reference to Percival Claude Cockerill. It also mentions a "suspense" list. .....an entry in the Gazette for the same man after he won the MC and was commissioned 2nd Lieut. He was dismissed the service by sentence of a Court Martial.

Both mention officers, as is in your case. You may find that it was something to do with how officers left the service after adverse court martial proceedings

You would save yourself a lot of flaffing about if you just bought his service record

Lt G R Haddelsey at National Archives never sure if those links last or not, anyway it is there.

You can get a quote from them and get it emailed, usually not too expensive

It is only other ranks on Ancestry. No officers I'm afraid.
