paul,they are the cards of 6 different soldiers,do you have his medals,mack

[paulbarrett1984]

Didnt realise they were for 6 different soldiers. lol

No I dont have his medals.

I think the correct one would be the Norfolk Regiment Herbert Barrett

Am I right in thinking that he got the Victory Medal, the 1915 Star, and the British War Medal?

Any idea what the roll number means? and what does it say in the 'remarks' section?

[harribobs]

yes he got the three medals,

you are looking at an index card, the references are to the main medal rolls

in the remarks it says he was Killed in Action 26-9-15

Ah, well I have the wrong Herbert Barret then. :-p

Mine wasn't killed in action.

Oops. :-p

Thanks for your help.

[harribobs]

my guess would be that your Herbert looks like a corporal in the artillery (IMHO... although i wouldn't rule out the ASC either)

Is it possible to seach by the parents names?

They are William & Anna Barrett.

Herbert was born in Blakeney, Norfolk
