Squaddie994 Posted 31 December , 2018 Posted 31 December , 2018 I can't find his Mic for his 14/15 star, also the medal is named R.R. Pte B Kane. 5th R. I. Lcrs. What does the R.R stand for? Thanks. Mick.
Mark1959 Posted 31 December , 2018 Posted 31 December , 2018 It may be worth showing a photo of the engraving on the medal. Can only find roll records for British War and Victory Medals for Bernard,
alf mcm Posted 31 December , 2018 Posted 31 December , 2018 Mick, 'R.R.' probably means 'Rough Rider', who would help to break in new horses. Regards, Alf McM
Mark1959 Posted 31 December , 2018 Posted 31 December , 2018 Looking at some 5th Lancers for which records exist casts a doubt in my mind about his entitlement to the Star. For example L/11403 reported for duty on 20/12/1915. Jury out but would like to see the engraving
Squaddie994 Posted 31 December , 2018 Author Posted 31 December , 2018 Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try and take a photo of the naming but I'm not the most computer literate person. His BWM is also named that way, unfortunately I'm missing his Victory medal. Thanks. Mick.
Mark1959 Posted 31 December , 2018 Posted 31 December , 2018 (edited) Does the standard of the engraving differ markedly? An alternative for RR is Reserve Regiment. Edited 31 December , 2018 by Mark1959
Squaddie994 Posted 7 January , 2019 Author Posted 7 January , 2019 I wasn't happy with the engraving on the star, so returned it. Thanks everyone for your help. Mick.
