Here one likely candidate:

Charles W HARCOURT has three entries on one Medal Card:

Private R/42898 King's Royal Rifle Corps

Private R/42898 15 Battalion London Regiment

540473 15 Battalion London Regiment

There is no other information on the card other than his original Medal Roll details, TP15/101B4 page 570,which will show the Battalion he served in when first into a War Theatre,it's going to be the KRRC,but we don't yet know which Battalion. He also didn't go until after Dec 1915.There are members here who can tell you when he joined from his number.

The ledger for the original medal Roll is at Kew Archives under WO329/1952.

What does this all mean,

Registered paper 0137/5353

There is also a red stamp mark with this info on,

Bit of a mystery this one as its been suggested these two persons are one of the same.

I am looking for any clues as this Harcourt was an heir to a Noble family.
