M. Taranto served as an Interpreter with the A.N.Z.A.C. Division during the Great War in Egypt from 19 March 1915 to 16 August 1920. An Interpreter of this name (who may well be the same man), attached to the 90th Punjabis, was admitted to the 19th General Hospital on 19 December 1916.

Sold with copied Medal Index Card which confirms that the recipient received both the British War and Victory Medals, but not a 1914-15 Star.
