The S. Lancs. were in India fir the entire war & as it wasn't a theatre of war no medals.
It looks like a 2 so 29924. There isn't anything before that as there were no 6 digit Infantry numbers until 1917 & that was TF only.

Thanks jim1 for the info , really helpful and gives me so much more of an understanding
So would the S Lancs Reg have been based in Asia or the Arabian Peninsula rather than just india as he was in QATAR according to the certificate

Hi Jim
Just trying to find out more about any granddad as I know hardly anything as my farther did not know much about him as he died young. My nan never spoke to much about him either then my father went into the Army and moved to London once D-mobbed. So all I know about him is birth, marriage death and that he was a hewer down the coal mines, other than that nothing.
So I think its time for a trip to Lancashire

But thanks for all the assistance and pointers
