wmfinch Posted 19 March , 2019 Share Posted 19 March , 2019 Hello Everyone, On behalf of a friend, I'm asking if the 'Mentioned in Despatches' certificate that was issued to Navy personnel was different to those issued to Soldiers? Also, has anyone got an example that could be shown please? I'm assuming there is no way of applying for a replacement for a missing one but I see that you can order a modern copy off eBay. However, I can only see versions for Soldiers not Navy personnel. Any guidance will be much appreciated. V/R Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARABIS Posted 19 March , 2019 Share Posted 19 March , 2019 The naval certificates were issued by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, so are different to the army issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmfinch Posted 20 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 20 March , 2019 Thank you for confirming they were different Arabis and for saying who issued them. Much appreciated. Can anyone show an example so my friend can see what he is looking for please? His Grandfather was MID during the Gallipoli campaign.

sdparker Posted 20 March , 2019 Share Posted 20 March , 2019 Hello I have the original issued to my grandfather, who was in The Royal Naval Air Service. I am not good with technology, but I will try to photo it and post it here. It may take me a day or so to organise though Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
