David Ward was born in 1884 and attested for the Royal Field Artillery on 30 October 1902. He served with them during the Great War on the Western Front from 18 August 1914, latterly with C/94 Brigade.
A typed note with the lot states: ‘In April 1918 Ward was working with a French Artillery unit at Locre. During the battle of Lys War was awarded the French Military Medal for gallantry.’ However, this is unconfirmed, and no evidence has been found to confirm the award of either of the French decorations.
