paul leeson Posted 10 July , 2014 Share Posted 10 July , 2014 Hi Can any one help me identify this 2/Lt. Served in 140 SB RGA April 1917. Taken from a Gunners service record, he [Gnr F Cardy 74434] appears to have gone to Hospital as his servant. Thank you in advance. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
