John Hogan Medal Card Help Please
« on: Monday 05 December 05 20:27 UTC (UK) »
Can anyone help me with this medal card. it is my great grandfather John Hogan. he was a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, 299th siege battalion. he died on 24 June 1917.

Does the card tell any info( i have no idea with army codes )

the bottom entry on the left side says rank as " SGT " does this mean he was a sergeant?

MARY A....thanks so much for the help in posting this Cheesy



Thank You

Anthony.

You wouldn't be the first, they just put them six to a page.

One thing, and i think Mack will point out if im correct. Grin

He doesn't have a 1914 or 1914/1915 star awarded so he mustn't have gone to the war until 1916.
