Where on the card does this appear (and which type of card on the link belkow)? There is an explanation of the layout of the cards on TNA's web-site
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/medals.asp
Many service records were destroyed or damaged by fire in WW2. There is a good chance that their service records have not survived. See TNA's research guide:

I replied to your first message with a link
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/...line/medals.asp
which explains the layout of the cards. Look at the bottom of the link and you'll see what is very rarely on the reverse of the cards.
