A pair of medals said to be named to H G STYLES RA. I have done a quick bit of research and the medal rolls contain one H G Styles of the Artillery. that is to say 34092 Gunner Herbert George Styles of the Royal Garrison Artillery. I can't guarantee without confirmation of the regimental number on the medals that this is the same man, however it seems likely. If so, he was also entitled to the 1914-15 Star, entering the France and Flanders theatre on 3 October 1915. At some point he served with 50th Siege Battery, RGA, a 6" gun battery. By early August 1918 he was a Bombardier. He was recorded as wounded in War Office Daily List no.5664 of 7 September 1918, suggesting that he was wounded in early August. This list confirmed his next of kin address as Worcester. He was discharged to the Army Section 'B' Reserve on 14 March 1919.
