Request identification of soldiers / medals

[Guest michaelv]

Hello all,

some months ago, I bought 4 medals on a local flee market here in the Hannover area. Ever since I was curious to know if there are any informations regarding the soldiers and their units. What do the abbreviations mean? Any information is appreciated.

1. 14-15 Star

157

A-BMBR. W.H. IRETON

R.F.A

2. British War Medal 1914-20

M2 - 082716 CPL. P.S. Wallington A.S.C.

3. Victory Medal 1914-19

297217 PNR. J. Palin R.E.

4. Victory Medal 1914-19

Thank you Michael

1) Acting Bombadier (Rank)- Royal Field Artillery

2) Army Service Corps

3) Royal Engineers

4) Gunner ( Rank) Royal Artillery

None of their names appear on SDGW so presume they survived the war.

Hi Michael

157

R.F.A

Acting Bombadier W H Ireton, Royal Field Artillery

2. British War Medal 1914-20

M2 - 082716 CPL. P.S. Wallington A.S.C.

Corporal P S Wallington, Army Service Corps, I believe the M2 relates to him being an electrician, but not sure of this?

Pioneer J Palin, Royal Engineers

4. Victory Medal 1914-19

127192 GNR. J. Pearson. R.A.

Gunner J Pearson Royal Artillery

All the Numbers will be there individual Service Numbers, Though W H Ireton's number is an unusually low one?
