Guest Grandson Jon Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Hi Can anyone help please? My grandfather HA Beaman was in the AVC 1917-1920, then joined the Essex Regiment. His medal card includes the General Service Medal (GSM) with Iraq Clasp from his time in the AVC. By the time he was given the medal he must have been in the Essex Regiment as the GSM entry is as follows: Medal. Roll. GSMed GSM/Essex R/1 I attach Adobe version of the card (his is at the top right). In particular, can anyone tell me what the /1 means? does this mean the 1st Battalion? This is important as I need to find out if he served in Ireland with the 1st battalion in 1921 (his army record contains no reference but family history states he did serve in Ireland...). Also, anyone know what 'page 7' for the GSM actually means? Would there be any further info here? Can anyone read what's in the 'Remarks' section?! Lastly, I do not understand what the entry in 'Theatre of War Served in' means... Any help appreciated, many thanks, Jon HABeaman_WW1_Medal_Card.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
