There should  be a Dependents Pension Card for the Widow Bridget unless she Remarried
But I can't find it.
If they had Children they would be due a Pension till their 16th Birthday unless Mother Remarried
Which could be why I can't find it.

Pension cards attached, his widow had remarried and was named as guardian of the children.
Does the second image say where he served and what he served as I can’t really make out the writing

The guardian is shown as Mary Redmond not his wife/widow. Bridget, his widow is mentioned elsewhere as Bridget Bradley. Mary Redmond nee Nolan is aunt to the children. (1911 census).
