Need help finding information on medal recipient.

[Guest lkharter]

Would like any info at all on:

Private J. Wilson A.S.C. M289030
(I think it means he was in the Army Service Corps,
and his service No. Does anyone know what the "M" stands for?)

This is ALL I know, and that he received a Victory Medal in 1917.
Thanks very much.

Private James Wilson. Army Service Corps. received the Victory Medal and the British War Medal. No other information on the medal card (visible on Ancestry.com). The medal would have been issued around 1922, not in 1917.

The "M" is the pre-fix for men in the Motor TRansport sections.
