I'm after information on Ernest John Jackson 15420. 8th Battalion.KSLI

He was entitled to 1915 Star BWM and Vic. His SWB number 142377 Discharged Depot KSLI in Shrewsbury. He enlisted 10 November 1914. Discharged sickness Para 392 (XVI)

 

Any information would be great.. After being discharged where did he live ?????

 

Thanks In Advance

There is a Pension Ledger record for JACKSON, Ernest John, KSLI, Discharged 16.2.17 - but under number 15920 [which is close # to but different from MIC with 15420, discharge dated 16/2/17] = I think the # needs clarifying

Two Staffordshire addresses shown

Overleaf is a F[inal] 20% disability 5/6 15/12/20 - 13/12/21 [dates seems a bit incongruous if final = ? - note dated annotations to 1925 on front]
