Medal card of James Figgins

[Guest mark73]

Hi

I would like to know if anybody could decipher the following medal card for me please. I know what the Victory, British and 14 Star mean but I'm not too sure on the remarks field on the right or the last two entrys one of which looks to me as saying "was paid" and the last detailing a SWB list which I would be grateful also if someone could let me know what that refers to.

thanks

Mark
