    1. I make a mistake! The "73" is a "B" !! Thank you very much !! Franco.
    2. Thank you very much Graham, Your information are very useful. I downloaded a DCM card, and a page of the London Gazette (nr. 2164 supplement 18 feb 1918) with no further informations except the indication: (Peterborough), perhaps the place of birth ? The DCM card contains in the ''Corps'' field: 73/270 Bde RFA (TF) and this match with your informations. Do you know the meant of the number 73 ? I downloaded a MIC too, it show: VICTORY (RFA/15yB TF - 11494) BRITISH ( - do - ) 15 STAR (T/RFA/4A+B - 468) therefore a total of 4 medals for a valiant soldier, but I do not understand the abbreviations. Also in the MIC there are: -another reference that I dont understand: SWB List Ra/4564. - Theatre of war first served in: (1) France from 19/11/15, and this match too with your informations. - on the right side Dis 392 XVI a[?] 20/4/19: the discharging day for health problems, I think. Have I made a good job? Bye, and thanks for your help. Franco P. S. sorry for my english
    3. The edge inscription is: 4408 A.B.Q.M.SJT.G.A.BARKER.R.A. my translation: 4408 A.Battery.Quarter.Master.SerJeanT. G.A.BARKER. Royal.Artillery. - G.B. I found two files MIC (not downoladed yet): - Medal card of Barker, G A Royal Field Artillery 891271 Serjeant - Medal card of Barker, George A Royal Field Artillery 4408 891271 Serjeant Is correct? The medal is genuine? Thanks Franco P.S. sorry, my english is poor
