I think - the "Action Taken" relates to actions such as medals being dispatched, returned etc, the "EF" prefix is Expeditionary Force, the "Comm" entry is date of commission as an officer (2(?)7/10/17), the "IVX" prefix entry refers to date the medals were despatched (20/10/24). The box re. medals in the top right corner has Rank & File medal roll references for the 1914-15 Star earned whilst still in the DCLI prior to commissioning and for the British War Medal and Victory Medals as an officer.
I Stand to be corrected, particularly re. the medal roll entries.
As was pointed out earlier, in one of the photos he wears 4 overseas service chevrons on his right sleeve so probably overseas 1915-1918.
In the other photo no wound badge is worn on the left sleeve so that photo presumably predates his wounding on 24/8/18.
