Coldstreamer Posted 23 May , 2008 Share Posted 23 May , 2008 in France until 1921 would suggest he was a regular soldier who didnt just "sign up" for the war. Papers for 1921 are not available yet no medal card could mean no medals - perhaps he had an alias due to his age ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
