Silver War Badge - Naval Personnel

[hen190782]

Good Evening

I would be grateful if someone could provide details of the person to whom SWB RN 29249 was issued.

I usually use the SWB Registers on Ancestry, but those records only seem to cover Army.

Is there an searchable online register for Naval SWB issues?

Thanks,

Nigel

They are on ANcestry but extremely well hidden.

Look for UK Naval Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1972 and enter Silver War Badge under medal type. Then look on the left to Browse the records, select WW1 Medals tehn look again for te SWB list.

The badge went to 279793 Chief Stoker T Hawkins. http://interactive.ancestry.com.au/1687/32164_A001958-00000?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.Ancestry.com.au%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3fdb%3dNavalMedalRolls%26rank%3d1%26new%3d1%26so%3d3%26MSAV%3d1%26msT%3d1%26gss%3dms_db%26gsfn_x%3dNN%26gsln_x%3dXO%26_F0005E0D%3dsilver%2bwar%2bbadge%26dbOnly%3d_F0005E0D%257c_F0005E0D_x%26dbOnly%3d_F0005C5B%257c_F0005C5B_x%26dbOnly%3d_F0005959%257c_F0005959_x%26dbOnly%3d_F0005C5C%257c_F0005C5C_x%26uidh%3dfa9&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnSearchResults#?imageId=32164_A001958-00151

Thanks for the name but I still cannot find the register on ancestry.co.uk

I cannot see here where to input "Silver War Badge"

I went to "Advances Search" and put "Silver War Badge" into the Award/Medal cell and pressed enter and then selected WW1 but when I went to the next drop-down menu, there was no SWB option:

Obviously I am doing something wrong or Ancestry.co.au is set up differently.

Got it sorted

Glad you found it. A bit of a palaver to find isn't it?
