jay dubaya Posted 15 September , 2019 Share Posted 15 September , 2019 All depends on what those letters are. Regiment, name, service number are the most likely I can offer without any further details J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two medals should show the same name; the other details may differ. Grab a magnifying glass and post what you find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilbury Welsh Posted 16 September , 2019 Share Posted 16 September , 2019 For clarification, were these three medals purchased from the same shop as the Memorial Plaque mentioned in your other thread? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootrock Posted 17 September , 2019 Share Posted 17 September , 2019 (edited) Probably James Lewis Carter Z/134 RNVR Division: Tyneside. He has a file in the National Archives ADM 337/71/52 which has been digitised and can be downloaded for £3.50 EDIT His record is available on Ancestry if you search for James Louis Carter. Also try FindMyPast under this spelling. Martin Edited 17 September , 2019 by tootrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
