On the 1st May 1917 he was transferred to the 64th Coy the Labour Corps. On the 4th October 1917 he was again transferred, this time to the 2/5th D of W West Riding regiment, part of the 186th Brigade in 62nd (2nd West Riding) Division. He would have been present at the Cambrai operations and witnessed the Tank attack and capture of Bourlon wood. It was probably during the Battle of Bapaume he received a gun shot wound in the chest. He must have spent some time in hospital and after, put on light duties at 3rd battalion depot. He was discharged on 24th February 1919 with a war pension having suffered 20% disability from his wounds.
Both medals are in very good condition and come on replacement ribbons. They come with various copy paperwork including his medal index card and what remains of his service records.
