Remembered Today:

Victory Medal entitlement - HMT Arcadian

I am doing a bit of research on Lt John Godfrey Bradley Smith (RAMC) who was drowned on 15th April 1917 when the HMT Arcadian was sunk by a German submarine just off Milos.

 

My query concerns his medal entitlement as his MIC shows an entry for the BWM but the Victory Medal line is completely blank. I know there were cases where a man would get the BWM but not the VM but I cannot see how it would apply in this case. I understand the Arcadian was sailing FROM Salonika when it sunk so he must have been in a theatre of war.

 

He is sometimes listed as JGB Smith and other times as JG Bradley-Smith so there may be another MIC with his VM entry. Or did they just do the BWM line in some cases and the VM entitlement was implied?

 

Many thanks

 

Neil
