Thanks Jerry, would you know what the other things on his uniform mean, like stripes on his sleeve etc. Thanks, Matt

I believe they are good conduct/service stripes, whilst the lanyard was worn by many corps at this period. I think others can added more detail on these than can I.

I am sure someone can tell what the medal ribbons are for.

I think that the medals may be 1914 / 1914-15 Star and British War Medal.

Hello Matt
I’d say Royal Army Service Corp, possibility just post WW1 as he is displaying his medal ribbons ?? And they look to be as Leigh said and the chevrons on his lower left sleeve are again as said for good conduct as far as I’m aware.
