Levi Soar first entered the war in the Dardanelles on 26 July 1915. His Medal Index Card confirms entitlement to ‘Sultan’s Sudan Medal’ but also states ‘Medal only’. The clasp for Garjak Nuer is however confirmed on the roll for Army Order of 25 September 1918, one of approximately 30 clasps issued to the British army.
