His medal ribbons appear to be :
- Order of the Bath (?), Order of the Indian Empire (?), Military Cross
- WWI trio (with mention in despatches), India General Service Medal 1908-25, India GSM 1936-39
- Defence Medal, War Medal, King George V Silver Jubilee, King George VI Coronation, foreign.

So : a WWI veteran, who served in India in the 1920s/30s and in WW II. The absence of WWII campaign stars suggests no operational command or service, and the Defence Medal indicates non-operational service during the war.
