It is quite evident that the transposition of "Y" for "V" stems from the Medal Index Card, the lettering making the "V" look like a "Y", Copy Medal Index Card sold with group, QSA Unusually named to a Volunteer Company. Medal Index Card confirms award of Great War Pair and further service in the Labour corps. Worthy of further research.
