My Grandfather was a pre WW1 regular in the South Wales Borderers. He was out with the BEF with 1SWB from August 1914, wounded that year and again in 1917 after which he was a Serjeant Instructor with 3 SWB which was at Hightown near Liverpool and, as said above, trained personnel for the Battalions at the front.
It is possible that your man was awarded the MM for service before he served with 3 KING’s?
Are there other WW1 medals, what does his Medal Index Card show?
