I'm looking for military records regarding his time on the Front.

No. It was presented to his mother on his death. Unusual though to see it on his tablet. Yes, Robert was born in Co Fermanagh but none of the above.Have him listed as a boarder in Clabby in 1901.

It was a "Dead Man's Penny" - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Plaque_%28medallion%29

Apologies. I misunderstood a suggestion from hallmark re The Great War Forum. So I posted the same question there also.
