armourersergeant Posted 21 December , 2005 Share Posted 21 December , 2005 Do you have the theatre of operation? Does it not give an indication on the medal card of which battalion? I can possibly tell you which battalion it was if you can let me know where he served. regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 21 December , 2005 Share Posted 21 December , 2005 Arm, The Theatre was 2(b ) Balkans (though not very clear, possibly 2(a)). Probably the 5th Battalion, 10th (Irish) Division - Gallipoli, then Salonika, then Palestine. I suspect he was not in Gallipoli very long if at all, perhaps entering the theatre at Lemnos/Mudros and joining the battalion en route as it sailed to Salonika. Steve.
