Looking at the time line on the card:
18 Aug 1920
Reference to the BW and VM (British War Medal and Victory Medal).
20 Nov 1921
Officer in command Royal Horse and Royal Field Artillery receives enquiries re forfeiture of medals.
22 Dec 1921
BW and VM returned without letter.
3 Feb 1922
The CR under this date ref has been puzzling me. Could it mean 'criminal record'?
There is no mention of the 1915 Star of Silver War Medal being returned.
