thats interesting info. I am wondering if they can post people from RFA to them. He sent a Scottish Xmas card Dec 1916
Bob T
Thank you all for that
medal Info Royal Field Artillery Gunner
Date: 1914-1920 Victory Medal, British medal No info about Theatre of war.
May be he was a Seaforth TF & embodied in the same at the outbreak of war & then transferred to the RFA.
