Ha, no ... GGF missed all of those. Just the Egypt 1882 with Tel-El-Kebir bar and the Khedive’s Star while a C/Sgt with the Scots Guards. At the end of his service with the Regular Army, he went Reserve Forces, recalled in 1914 but never left Blighty ... so no WW1 entitlement. Clearly he set a family trend! 😀
