horatio2 Posted 21 September , 2018 Share Posted 21 September , 2018 2 hours ago, ForeignGong said: . Sweeping mines etc in Malta harbour. Aug 1916 This is a misreading of the name in written in ADM 171/172. RIBBLE and COLNE were not at Malta in August 1916, Rather both ships were involved in sweeping operations in the Makri Gulf (Turkish Gulf of Fethiye - SW Turkey, NE of Rhodes.)

Guest Posted 21 October , 2018 Share Posted 21 October , 2018 (edited) Hi, I know this is an old topic but have just come across it. The PO Nash is my wife's granddad, she never met him but her dad ans uncle are the spitting image. We came across the medal and certificate in her dads loft when he died, this was the first we knew of it. Wife's brother claimed them both and he has since past away and his family are claiming they no nothing about the medal. I meant to add that we have PO Nash's sea chest Edited 25 October , 2018 by Guest add sea chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
