I have found the medal card for OH's grandfather - http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/12...l=ReturnRecord (Ivan Quanstrom b 1894 Eastbourne)
He only seems to have qualified for the victory medal. Does this mean that he was not sent abroad? Also trying to work out which part of the RFA he was in, according to what I can see, he was in the 159th brigade. However this one seems to have come from Glasgow and he came from Eastbourne, and lived there all his life - doesn't make much sense to me! He was born in 1894 and would have been old enough to join up right from the start.
