douglynn Posted 19 May , 2014 Share Posted 19 May , 2014 Can some please take a look at his mic, as I can not understand it, does it say persia? There is allso a number 7040450 I can not find anything on this one thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 19 May , 2014 Share Posted 19 May , 2014 Yes, he has a "NW Persia" clasp to an Indian General Service Medal. Did you know he has two medal index cards? They show the same number of the 21st Londons but are marked "not identical". Looks to me as though he re-enlisted in 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglynn Posted 19 May , 2014 Author Share Posted 19 May , 2014 Where should I be looking for his service papers under what number, I have tried both and no joy, and thanks by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 19 May , 2014 Share Posted 19 May , 2014 I don't think you will find them. His 7-digit number was not issued before 1920 and he looks very much as though his record will still be with the MOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
