Private Barlow Heny Holt, R.A.M.C., entered the Egypt theatre of war on 4 July 1915. Later served in the Durham Light Infantry. His m.i.c. has the remark, ‘Deserter 16/4/17’ by the ‘1914-15 Star’ entry but elsewhere it states ‘15 Star Rest[ored]’. Also awarded the Silver War Badge (not with lot). Interestingly, on the S.W.B. Roll for Durham Light Infantry recipients, his enlistment date is also given as 16.4.17. He was discharged on 25 April 1919.
