Thank you, I have his medal card (attached) all though I confess I am not sure how to decipher some of the card, the reference to Roses for example, but no clasp ?
I know William was a career military man, the 1901 census finds him at Regents Park Barracks, a Trooper, so if i am correct in identifying him as being the ancestor in the photo, then after some years at that rank he managed to gain the rank of Sergeant (?) during the war - no wonder he looks so proud.
