Remembered Today:

John Barry killed in the Singapore Mutiny

Recommended Posts

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. E. 14.

The Medal Award Roll shows that 35514 Gunner John Barry was not entitled to the Victory Medal. This courtesy of ancestry:
