I am researching my family history and have found 2 brothers who both served in the above regiment the 1st brother was a GNR and the 2nd, older brother was a GNR and also a TPTR - what is this?

Also both brother signed up within a couple of days of each other in 1915, so why is the older brother a GNR and a TPTR, also the older brother has a victory, british and star medal. Is this normal?

Would someone also know whether I qualify to obtain the war records of both these brother and any more that I find, as there is another 3 brothers to research yet!!! I am their brothers great-grandaughter. If I do qualify how do I go about it?
Sorry for all the questions, but obviously don't know much about his subject.
Many thanks, Angi
