Ernest Donald Lunn attested for the Royal West Kent Regiment and served with them during the Great War on the North West Frontier of India, before being commissioned Second Lieutenant in the South Lancashire Regiment on 31 August 1917. He saw further service during the Third Afghan War; his Medal Index Card indicates that his India General Service Medal should indeed bear the rank ‘Lieutenant’.
