andalucia Posted 5 December , 2005 Share Posted 5 December , 2005 This is a copy of the medal card for my great grandfather John Hogan. He was a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery,299th Siege Regiment. he died 24 June 1917. Hoping someone can tell me any info that the card gives( i dont understand the army codes) the bottom entry on the left side " SGT " does this mean he was a sergeant? i really have no idea? Many thanks Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 5 December , 2005 Share Posted 5 December , 2005 Not much information I'm afraid. Entitled to Victory Medal and British War Medal. Therefore must have arrived in a theatre of War after 1st January 1916. Rank of Gunner. I've no idea where 299 Siege Battery served. A posting in Units and Formations with Artillery in the title will probably draw the attention of our Artillery men. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
