David Carter Posted 2 August , 2010 Share Posted 2 August , 2010 Medal card of Tomlinson, William W Corps Regiment No Rank Durham Light Infantry 27704 Royal Flying Corps 76612 Date 1914-1920 Would appreciate any information why he had two sets on his card ? regards russ Hi Russ, 2 sets means that he transferred at some point from 5DLI into RFC. He was fortunate as my great uncle served in 1/5DLI and was captured when the Battalion was virtually wiped out in the German offensive in 1918.
