Another Medal card help please


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi again,

I have another ancestor's medal card that I would like help with if possible.

There are the normal medal awards, but there is a long line of printed initials. Can anybody tell me what they are?

It has RGA in which will probably be Royal Garrison Artillery.

Also, it mentions SWB underneath the printed initials. Can anybody confirm for me that this is the Silver War Badge, because another ancestor that was wounded had "SWB list" printed, and I also know that SWB means South Wales Borderers.

Thanks,

Darin.

His awards include a more unusual Territorial Force War Medal{only 34,000 awarded}his 6 Figure number will IIRC identify his TF Battery/Brigade

& yes he was granted the SWB the List ref,refers to the Page of the SWB Roll his award is on & will give some useful information{see SWB on Long Long Trail}

Rank is bombardier [equivalent to corporal, but being in the RA, naturally superior!].

Hi,

Thanks everyone for all of the information.

Can you tell me where you found the information on Thomas O'Keefe's service dates please?

Would I be able to find out that information for other members of my family?

Thanks,

Darin.
