The medal card tells you which medals he received. If you look on the documentsonline site, there is a good explanation of the criteria for receiving the medals.

Thanks Rutland Belle,
Cant believe after years of reserach, there is still so much that I dont know - just goes to show that the older that you get, the more you question things.
