Good Morning

Captain Richard Thomas Nolan served in the ranks (Sergeant, 13142) before being commissioned on 4th September 1916 and died 22nd March 1920 (but not on CWGC) - OR service record and MIC have been located.

Can anyone advise the medal ribbon in this newspaper photograph:

Complete shot in the dark but the only ribbon I can see which vaguely matches is the Greek Medal of Military Merit. Nolan served with the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. The 6th Service Battalion was in Salonika 1915-1917, so if that was his unit (big if), it's a possible

R.T.N. was commissioned into the 8th R.D.F., however by Feb.1919 he is listed under the 6th Bn, so your theory could be correct?
