I too am having problems deciphering the medal card and any help will be most appreciated. I have the Medal card for my grandfather George Henry Eldergill which shows:
Corps KRRC 6th Ba (which I understand is the Kings Royal Rifle Corp)
Reg.No C/3125 Rank Rfn (which I understand is rifleman), however I am
stuck on the next remarks:
Date of Discharge has been crossed out and in its place the following has been written: TRANSFER 31.3.17 Enlistment 6.5.15
In the next column ie Date of Discharge it appears to read
Class P A Res Sickness
Under the section which shows (a) Badge and (b) Medal
a box has been stamped which shows
MEDAL ROLL PAGE
Victory M/101 B/5? 628
British do do
Star
Action taken List M 574
I assume that he received the above two medals, not sure though and I do not understand what List M574 means. I'm hoping someone can help me out,
