markankers Posted 16 May , 2013 Author Share Posted 16 May , 2013 hi is 13725 a mistake as it says number 13125 on his medal many thanks for your time. regards mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin RussT Posted 16 May , 2013 Admin Share Posted 16 May , 2013 I read the card as 13125 but because there is a little thickening of the pen stroke on the top of the "1" it is perhaps possible to mis-read it as a "7". Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hywyn Posted 16 May , 2013 Share Posted 16 May , 2013 Looks like a transcription/clerical error as his Service papers confirm the 13125 that is on the medal. (born ca1880. From Weaverham) Hywyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin RussT Posted 17 May , 2013 Admin Share Posted 17 May , 2013 No. He returned to duty and was posted to the 1st Garrison Bn in Gibraltar. He was eventually discharged to Army Reserve Class Z in 1919. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
