".
The one thats currently puzzling me is 73/270, as by 1916 all batteries were lettered rather than numbered and so you would have had 'A', 'B' & 'C'/270, referring to the unit he was serving in.
I make a mistake! The "73" is a "B" !!
Thank you very much !!

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.

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
