Footnote: J. Gibbons served with the Royal Mounted Fusiliers, and was discharged in December 1887. During the First War, he served in the Prince of Wales, 3rd Dragoon Guards, and is on the medal roll for the 1914 Star. The 3rd Dragoon Guards served on the Western Front throughout the Great War, taking part in early cavalry operations before transitioning to dismounted service in the trenches. Medal entitlement reflects qualifying wartime service with this regular cavalry regiment.
