stevem49 Posted 14 October , 2013 Share Posted 14 October , 2013 His medal index card indicates that he served overseas after 1 Jan 1916 and his number has an 'R' prefix. Might be an idea to change thread name to mention KRRC so an expert may then be able to help. Cheers Steve M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
