Re Conductor J D Coughlan

Inform applicant that his total service in the ranks was insufficient to qualify for the King's Medal and that 31st Dec 07 was fixed as the last day on which claims in respect as Conductors etc could be considered. He is therefore ineligible for the King's Medal but the date clasps may be issued. Signed F P Dunlop, Capt. 29.7.13
