ForeignGong Posted 26 February , 2020 Share Posted 26 February , 2020 Hi Rob Use this site, it will take a bit of trawling with a common name. https://vad.redcross.org.uk/ Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Rytir Posted 26 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 26 February , 2020 (edited) Thanks have just done that and one name springs out ........ but can you get both Victory and BWM if you only served 1 year?? as a VAD ??

travers61 Posted 26 February , 2020 Share Posted 26 February , 2020 I notice she has previous service in Malta, I didn't think this counted as a theatre of war (happy to be corrected), but maybe she was on hospital ships etc or in Egypt or the Eastern Med as well. This could this be the lady with the VAD card: MBE awarded to Mrs. Audrey Crossley. LG 7 Jan 1919 Superintendent, Cable Department, British War Mission in U.S.A. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31114/supplement/465 as well as the above, this may explain the termination of her VAD duties at Theydon in 1916: marriage on 14 Dec 1916 at Christ Church, Woburn Square, London Basil Hole Charles Jasper CROSSLEY, 27, bachelor, captain Army service Corps, of 4 The Park, Kingswood, Bristol, father Arthur Charles CROSSLEY (Deceased), Damask Linen Merchant to Audrey THOMPSON, 24, spinster, of 28 Upper Bedford Place, daughter of Alfred THOMPSON, Linen Merchant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Rytir Posted 26 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 26 February , 2020 There was a Civilian MBE first type with purple ribbon with this pair but I did not think they were connected but it suppose to have come with the pair so you see my confusion ?? rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalredcross Posted 26 February , 2020 Share Posted 26 February , 2020 Service in Malta would normally qualify for the BWM only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 26 February , 2020 Share Posted 26 February , 2020 I think we are talking about Annie Amelia Thompson who earned the BWM and VM with the VAD. France 18/7/18-28/2/19 MedalRoll here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
