I am trying to find my grandfathers army service record. His name was George Ward and he enlisted into the ASCHT in Leek Staffs on the 10th Dec 1915. His Regtl. No. was T308131. According to the Medal Roll Index he was awarded the Victory and British medals RASC/101?B213 page 21856. His rank was DVR (?). My dad, who is know deceased, said that "he rode a gun carriage and looked after the horses", he also said that he was in Bagdad, Iraq.
Can anyone advise how i would find out more info. please?

DVR = Driver in today's Army. Could be the same as he would have "driven" the horses.
