A search by me of the UK War Catalogues (https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D3613647) (on 8/4/2026) suggests that Samuel Frackleton Keenan may be the Private Samuel Keenan of the Seaforth Highlands who was in Regiment Numbers S/10402 and 242101 and served in the first world war in France, and received the Victory, British and Star medals. Note however, the name is recorded as simply Samuel Keenan, not Samuel Frackelton Keenan.
“The 1914–15 Star was for service in a theater of war (1914–15), the British War Medal (1914–20) for broader overseas service, and the Victory Medal (1914–19) for mobilization in an active theater." https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/british-army-medal-index-cards-1914-1920.
