1914/15 Star ineligible?
« on: Monday 01 April 24 13:05 BST (UK) »
Pte 27301 Arthur Parkinson enlisted 19th Pals King's Liverpool Regt on 12 April 1915 went Overseas? 18 August 1915  but his Medal Card noted he was ineligible for his 1914/15  Why?
Never seen that before.
Was it because he lied about his Age at Enlistment and under Age? - born September Quarter 1897

His short service record states he attested 12/4/15 to 5 Coy. 19/KLR.
Posted to the 89th Bde. Depot 29/4/1915.
Posted to 22/KLR 18/8/15.
Posted to the BEF France with 19/KLR 1/6/16.
Home 4/8/16.
So no entitlement to the 15 Star.

Brilliant Jim1

There had to be a logical explanation why he was not eligible.

Solved
