This is ll great information, guys, thanks so much. I really appreciate you all taking the time. The writing S.A.G, does anyone know what that is??
Also the writing at the bottom of the picture, does anyone no what that says? From first glance it looked like attack on service but i dont think thats what it says. Its also stamped DEAD assuming that's when he died. However the man lived till 1947!!!! Im wondering did he do a bunk or something and presumed dead, but really hiding.

Not "attack" but "attrib" - presumably short for attribution or attributed - on Section.

I don't recognise S.A.G. but could be a branch of the Adjutant General's Office.
If he's been marked as dead this would have to have been proved with a death cert.
The Ref. no. is probably where his pension appears in the register.
