Chris Boonzaier Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi, Does anyone have any idea about this... Does this mean he only arrived in France in August 1918? It looks to be a very minimal career for someone with a so potentially interesting pedigree.... For those with a bit more experience with these cards... what do you think he did with his life 1900-1917? Did he retire from the army in 1920? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Chris - Intelligence Officers, often have what is called 'concealed service'. The details are not revealed. To be a Captain at that time shows previous service and it must have been pre- Intel Corps. I would think France and the date refers to a posting to France - possibly to check on prisoners - but who knows ? You will note the added bit about applying for medals - so he must have had the entitlement of two, or three.
