J w mims Posted 24 June , 2019 Share Posted 24 June , 2019 Hello I have been trying to interpret a medal card so far all i can figure out is that he served in the london scottish and was commissioned in the RFA. Can anyone help figue out when and where he served and with what battery during the war. Thank so much for help and advice, James Mims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
