The Findmypast record mentioned in post 19 says wounded/sick. https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBM/NORTHUMFUSILIERS/083440 As post 20 says "The service number, 7024, does not produce any results when searching the Medal Index Cards or Award Rolls" perhaps this is an indication that he was not eligible for medals as he served the whole time in Britain and did not go overseas . This would mean most likely he was sick and not wounded in respect of the Findmypast record. Cheers Maureen
