EW Ladbrooke 30464, 219984 decipher MIC please

[Jack TT]

I have his MIC, on the back is written "applied for mSm-24027(A910). Can anyone translate for me please?
He also has the name of Ernest W Ladbrooke and Ludbrooke on various documents.

ALSO would he have been entitled to a pension after his WW1 service?

Applied for MSM = Meritorious Service Medal.
I think the second part says 24027 AG 10

[Jack TT]

Thanks, would you know if he got it?

[MaxD]

It would appear to refer to an application for the Meritorious Service Medal (crisane has this).  The bit in brackets is AG 10 which was a War Office officer's department dealing, among other things with medal entitlements.
I don't find any record in the London Gazette under any variant of his name!.

There is a record for him, serving from 1898 to 1919 on Findmypast.  He had over 14 of his 21 years counting towards pension which I believe should have resulted in a pension  - someone may be able to confirm (or not).

Thanks Max.

My reading of his record indicates he had 21 years continuous service, therefore he was qualified for his pension.

[MaxD]

On the line below his service time is the pension qualification time, 14 plus years (which still gives him a pension I believe).

I’m just going by the total figure of 21 years 46 days shown  under his list of postings.

[MaxD]

He was on the reserve from Sep 1906 to Aug 1914 which is the difference between service and pension qualification.
