WWI Medal Cards query

[Mogsmum]

I have 2 WWI medal cards - but ... (why is there always a 'but'?)

NOYES, Harry William Pte. DM2/206544  Army Service Corps, Motor Transport (Image Ref: 14496/2454).  There are entries on this card which I don't undertand. 

In the top right , I think it says 'Causes of Discharge' beneath which is written:  "S" beneath that "A C 265/7" and beneath that "Para 2 b 1".  There then follows the information on the type of medal he was awarded then, under a heading "Action taken", it appears to say "L:sT A SC/2051" - I suppose that "L:sT" could be a  "Ist".   Could anyone please tell me what these entries mean?

The other card concerns FRENCH, Edward Linton Pte. G23600 East Kent Regiment (Image Ref: 88993/26092).  With help from other members here, I have a pretty good idea when Pte. French joined this Regiment, but I had hoped that the card would tell me when and/or where he was wounded - unfortunately it doesn't.   Is there any way I can find out this information?

I wish I could get to the Records Office personally to look these up and follow them through, but unfortunately that's impossible, so any help would be very much appreciated.

This will be the first time I've tried posting an image - not being of a technical bent, it may yet all go 'pear shaped', but here goes ...

He has two medals the British War Medal & the Victory Medal. He did not go overseas until after 1 Jan 1916. There will be another medal index card for him at Kew.


No 2 This is a Medal index Card for a lad in the East Kent Regiment. You will have to go to the National Archives to see what Battalion he was in.

Hi Themonsstar

Very many thanks for your help.

Harry Noyes' No. was indeed DM2/206544 - your explanation of the notations on his card was most helpful.

As for Edward French, with help from another kind soul on here, I do know which Battalion he was in, and it was this same person who told me Edward had been injured.   I had hoped the medal card would give some clue to the injury, unfortunately not.

Again, my grateful thanks
