Sorry just back home . I will have to look at all this to make sure I understand it. I hoped he was the George Allen Ward from Bolton with 1901 and 1911 census results with his family named. So do I understand that's not him now?

That's right Margaret. George A. Ward from Bolton is the one with service number 230402.

The medal you have belongs to a G.A. Ward with two service numbers - first 2249, and then 960429.

I'm afraid very little chance of ever knowing who he was.

Hi all,
Thank you all very much for the help. That's very sad.
The first post from ArgyllGran about him disembarking on 18/3/15 probably in Turkey is correct though as it has the number I have on the medal?

Yes, that is the right man, and the date of disembarkation is as on the record.

I can't say for sure that he went to the Dardanelles, but it seems a distinct possibility, given the date.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Hi
Thanks. At least I have that!
It's been fun and I shall print all this out and leave it with the medal.
Bye.....unless anyone comes up with any more!
