Beverley - 2B means Balkans - he was landing at Gallipoli and would be a
reinforcement to either 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th Battalions Lancs
Fus - his medal rolls should tell you which one.

He was discharged with Silver War Badge ("SWB") entitlement which means he
was either discharged due to wounds or sickness.
