Thanks, Nirvard. You will already have seen my conclusion about this, and from what you say, it looks as though I am right. I have a copy of the medal card (which is about as uninformative as they come!). While we're on the subject of WWI, where does one find out about the service of family who didn't die or receive war pensions?
