Information please on Cpl D.J. Hannon RAVC

[Guest]

Can anyone help with further information regarding:

Cpl DJ Hannon, RAVC, 4229?

He may or may not be a man I am researching for other purposes.

I would be particularly interested in knowing if he was Irish - and if anyone had an address for him that would be great!

The cause of his discharge, listed on his Silver War Badge, was:

Para 392 (xiii) K.R.

W.O.L. 60/13

AG 10/d 19.12.18

Can anyone help in interpreting those for me?

Any suggestions as to how I could obtain more details?
