2nd Lt Harry Melvin Kenyon RFA

   

Numeric Register has him as 2nd Lt, Alphabetic Register has "Sapper", difficult to fathom out what is going on here. My assumption is that he was in the RE as a Sapper throughout WW1, then was demobbed and joined up again part time in RA with a commission in the Territorials
