Peter Bennett Posted 16 January , 2020 Share Posted 16 January , 2020 John Barry was killed in the Singapore Mutiny. He was a regular from 1911 but I am not sure if he saw service on any other front in WW1 before being posted to Singapore. Medal Award Rolls state he was awarded the War Medal and Victory Medal but his MIC Card only appears to state the War Medal. Can anyone please help to confirm what medals he was awarded. Thank you Gunner BARRY, J Service Number 35514 Died 17/02/1915 78th Coy.Royal Garrison Artillery Buried at KRANJI WAR CEMETERY Location: Singapore Number of casualties: 3702 Cemetery/memorial reference: 37.
