He originally joined as a Regular 5/5/15, aged 18, on a 3/9 basis. He was transferred to the B Reserve on 28/1/19. He was discharged on completion of 12 yrs 5/5/27 and died 6/11/31. Given that he served with the MEF 1915/16 then in Mesopotamia in 1916 (and France 1918) there is every chance of picking up Malaria at the least and perhaps something else ? I give all this background in case it helps with Pension Card interpretation. There is more detail on FindmyPast RA Attestations Ledger here. There may be a held service file with the MoD ?
