I can't even find a Medal Roll Index card for the John Honour with father Thomas using the service numbers from his service record.
I see that John H, his wife Mary and their children emigrated to Canada in 1928 John having been there previously 1906 - 1909.

Ordering Mary Ann's and or Kathleen's birth certificates would give you John H's occupation during the war years and if you are lucky enough, if he was in the army, may even give his regiment.
You order certificates from the GRO here using the information exactly as it is recorded in their index. You have to sign up to the site but it costs you nothing to join, just to buy the certificates and the GRO is the cheapest site from which to purchase them.
