There were only two 'R. J. Young' of the 1500 Youngs and only one was a Gunner. Served with the Halifax Battery, Royal Canadian Garrison Artillery from 1908, wife lived in the barracks, so he was a regular.
Enlsited in the CEF in 1916 but never got out of Canada, so the single medal is his sole entitlement. However, one of the several copies of his paperwork has 'South Africa' eneterd for 'Campaiugns' and 'QSA 4 bars / KSA 2 bars', all of which have been stroked through. Odd.
