Cant see him listed on another card but he was discharged wounds so should be entitled to british war and victory medals.
Usually SWB cards have them stamped...do you have his pair?

So am I right in thinking he should have had a silver war medal but maybe not any others?  We dont have any medals and no one remembers seeing any.

The SWB was a badge not a medal & worn on civilian clothes.
He served in France & therefore should have had campaign medals.

Many thanks for all your help, probably just be a mystery why they arent recorded.

You sometimes find there are two cards when a SWB is awarded....he may have served with another number or it was a clerical error.
He was discharged so would have a pension.
The western front association has pension records available (not the ancestry ones) if you visit there site.Theres a cost for them though.
