Hello People,
I have recently been given the service record of my late great-uncle. It seems that he served in Africa, Italy, France and was part of the Defense Corp.
A few things I cannot understand though.

Top line - reads 10/B.YY ? Apparently he was in the 10th Bn Black Watch in 1940 - would later transfer to the 1st Black Watch.
2nd line - apped ? u / paid ? - a / w / cpl ? - do not understand this
3rd line - reverts to at own requests ? does this mean the rank ?
4th line - R.N.G.Y.H ? If that is correct, I cannot find any information on this ?

Here - I just do not understand the numbers - to what do they mean ? I have done extensive search on the Black Watch - but the codes and numbers mean nothing to me. All I see is 10th Black Watch and at the bottom the 1st Black Watch. Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand correctly, at the bottom are all the medals Sam should have been rewarded ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
