Citing this Record
"United Kingdom, World War I Service Records, 1914-1920,"

I'm confused by mention of the 24th Field Battery who are presumably Artillery ?. If it's a correct transcription then I guess his role in the RASC was to supply ammunition, but it seems unlikely he was only supplying just one unit ?
I cannot find any reference to this unit in the Royal Artillery.

The Long Trail website (below) shows the RASC was also responsible for the Army's bakeries. Was the record actually "Bakery", not "Battery" ?. Indeed, the 1901 Census show's he was once a "confectioner".
