Yes,,that’s where I was getting the info.
It shows (under Corps) he served only in the Rifle Brigade ie not in some other regiment as well.. That when he qualified for the 1914/1915 Star his rank was Corporal (his final soldier rank was probably acting serjeant medal cards do not show acting ranks held but he wore serjeant’s stripes, was paid as a sjt and did a sjt’s job)
It shows he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and later became Lieutenant. (the date of commissioning I gave earlier is from the medal roll)
The stamp on the top right is showing which Rifle Brigade medal rolls his 3 medals were recorded in. From the bottom, his 1914/1915 Star (here called 15 Star) was on one roll and his British War and Victory Medals were on another roll. The roll numbers and pages are given. The rolls are on Ancestry. His 1914/1915 Star was first listed on the soldiers roll and then changed to the Officers roll hence the double entry in the red writing.
The notes opposite “Action taken” are letter references related to the issue of the medals.
It shows that the first theatre of wear he entered was France on 21 July 1915.
On the back it shows he claimed his medals when he was at the Demob camp at the end of his service (officers had to claim their medals).
The sheet from his officer's records is in fact what is called the Minute Sheet. It goes at the front of all the correspondence in the file and the hieroglyphics record letters coming in and out and being dealt with by the various offices looking after the file. It means nothing at all today. May I take it you have the file??
