Hello All

I have been given the details of a distant family member who my brother in law is trying to research and identify if he was issued with any medals for his military service. I know there are forum members who also collect medals and have access to those particular registers so I am posting to see if anyone could tell me if the family member was issued any medals.

His name was Hugh Clydesdale and the details I have managed to find so far are listed below but may be a bit out of synch.

Private Hugh Clydesdale Date of Birth May 1879
I have 2 Service Nos for him - S/3630 & 397106
I believe he enlisted on 28 June 1908 in the Royal Irish Regiment but I have him down as being in the 2nd Bn & 6th Bn and then the Labour Corps
He was discharged due to sickness on 20 Sept 1918. Discharge Unit – 469 H.S.E. Co Ex R I Rifles
Posted to 296 Scottish Command Depot Labour Company on 5 July 1918
Posted 469 on 17 July 1918
Discharged 20 Sept 1918

I have also seen a note stating Attestation for the militia reserve RIR 6th Bn 28 June 1899 S/N 2492
Posted to 2nd Bn 18 Jan 1900

He was issued with a Silver War Badge, Badge Number B3819

If this makes sense to anyone and you are able to advise me on any medals he may have earned I would be very grateful

Many thanks in advance

Paddy
