Victor C. Turner attested for the Royal Horse Artillery and served as a Trumpeter during the Great War in Egypt from 25 April 1915. His Medal Index Card indicates that his British War Medal and Victory Medal were both issued with the rank ‘Gnr.’; this has subsequently been crossed out and the correct rank of ‘Tptr.’ substituted, which doubtless explains the correction to the naming on both medals.
