Re: Richard Greenwood Parker
Welcome to the Forum, Julie!
There is a Medal Index Card for Richard Parker, MGC 9723, then RWF 31295, then MGC 9723 again. No Silver War Badge number, and not in the SWB lists, so highly unlikely to have had a medical discharge.
I can't find his service or pension records either. They were probably destroyed in the Blitz.
The RWF number indicates a transfer in the second quarter of 1915.
That's all I can say. Hope it helps.

The RWF number seems unusual as it is out of sequence of the normally assigned numbers, which show a break between 293XX and 315XX and are associated with mid to late 1917 or early 1918 enlistment.

Re: Richard Greenwood Parker
Three 2nd Bn men in this 293xx-315xx series were killed on 20/07/1916 (31022 Cox, 31030 Crumpton, 31032 Craig) while 31052 Earnshaw, also 2nd Bn, was killed even earlier on 25/04/1916. And there are several more. That can't be reconciled with mid to late 1917 or early 1918 enlistment.

Re: Richard Greenwood Parker
I have just done a very quick filter on my database for this range on known enlistment dates alone, and have over 90.

and so on.
It looks like the 29XXX men were enlistments in 21 RWF, the 30XXX and higher numbers transfers from other regiments/corps (KLR, MGC, RAMC etc).
