 Can find his Service Attestation which shows he went abroad twice and killed at Ypres and Brother signed for his Medals yet can't find any Medal Cards.

Is it just my poor searching skills ? Are they there and if not why ?

I did find it on Ancestry, seems medal cards are harder to find nowadays, I went to Card Catalogue and entered Medal Cards into keyword  search box, he is there but took a bit of searching. Put in William Robinson and rifle brigade , he is about half way down the results page.
