Pair: 1915/15 Star and British War Medal (missing the victory medal). Both correctly impressed to 997 SGT T. TURNER 1/BN A.I.F.
Previous service recorded as "6 years Irish Guards, purchased discharge"
Emb. 18th October 1914
WIA 6-9 August (G.S.W. Left arm) one record states "Shoulder , Lone Pine 6th Aug. 1915"
Discharged 6th December 1917 as Medically unfit.
