Trying to trace the history of my Grandfather who was ASC in Egypt 1915-1920. He was promoted as an acting Sergeant and attached to the intelligence unit where he (to quote him) took over an office, a desk, a typewriter and a typist whom he subsequently married.
Their efforts during this time earned them a mentioned in dispatches which should have resulted in an oak leave cluster on his medals, I cannot make anything out in any pictures. There is a puzzling comment on his medal card: ARI 05/09/1919. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?
