Thomas Daykin served with the 11th (Finsbury Rifles) Battalion , London Regiment during WW1. Formerly number 837 with Army Service Corps. Medal card quotes he went to France in Jan 1915, but 1/11th went to Gallipoli and stayed in Middle East for remainder of the war.
Editor's Note: The date for arriving in France is the first time he entered a theatre of war, so he must have gone to France with the ASC before he transferred to the London Regiment.
