Medal Card 'translation' please?

[Mogsmum]

Amongst a late relative's effects, I have have found a photocopy of the medal card for my husband's grandfather, Harry William NOYES, but it's a poor copy and I'd appreciate some help deciphering it.

Under 'Corps' it says 'ASCMT' - could anyone tell me what this is please?   I'm guessing it's something to do with motor transport?

Although it's clear he was a private, his service number (206544) is prefaced by something which could be either DM1/ or DM2/

The 'Date of Discharge' column has 4-1-18 written in it, then below that is a printed word which I can't read, but looks as though it ends in '....ment' and beneath that is written, 2-3-16

Finally, in the last column which I believe is headed 'Details of Discharge' is the handwritten S AC 265/7 Para 2 followed by what I think is b 1 or could that be 6 1?

I'd be really grateful if someone could 'interpret' this information for me please.

Just realised - idiot that I am - that it's merely a matter of searching the National Archive website.   

Having found a translation of said card, is there any way I can now find out where he served?

Its possibly an entitlement to SWB as he was discharged....Any chance of posting it?

If it is a SWB there is a roll to get some details off but you need to get it from the NA.

the army considered him too ill to serve,but harry had other ideas,cos he joined up again as pte 206544[see evs reply]

sounds like a gutsy little fella,he wasnt gonna let the army stop him fighting.

Can I just say a really HUGE thank you - so much information in so short a time, I'm so grateful.

How, I wonder did he come to 'swallow acid as a child'?  Not from the sweets I hope!    Harry, the Army may like to know, went on to become a cable worker and later a Millwright, he married had two children and lived well into his late 60s - not bad for someone considered (at one time) too unfit to become an efficient soldier!

Thank you again.

Looks like he has an Entry on the Army Service Corps SWB List page 2037

looking it up probably wont give you anymore info than you already have unless you are after his SWB serial number.
