Hi, are you sure it does not read BAILEY? as I found a Henry Bailey army number 7786 who served with 4th Bn RWF who went to France 10th Jan 1915 and was discharged 28th April 1916. He was entitled to a trio of medals including the 14/15 Star, BWM and VM. He was discharged because of sickness with war badge number169289. Obviously if it is not Bailey, all this is irrelevant.
Pte Henry Bailey 7786, 4th Bn RWF (TF)
Enlisted 10/11/1914
Entered theatre of operations 1 (France) 10/01/1915
Discharged MU (sickness) 28/04/1916
1914-15 Star, BWM, VM
Hope this helps.
