The way the jackets are buttoned (left over right) shows this is not the case.

Where would overseas service chevrons be worn?

At the bottom of the right sleeve. Smaller (blue, bottom one red) chevrons pointing upwards.

Hi Roger

 I have just joined this Forum but have been a member of the British Medal Forum for some years.

I have just bought a 6-medal group from ebay that includes a RNASBR LS&GCM with additional bar, and also a St John service medal with extra bar. The other medals are a WW1 trio    and Police 1911 coronation medal.

The man is FREDERICK FODDERING. He was a sick berth steward, SBS, and I was wondering if he is listed in the book you mentioned

Some more info on FODDERING :

His WW1 number was M8836
the 1911 coronation (St John reverse) is engraved : CPL F. FODDERING
the St John service medal is engraved : 2080 SGT F. FODDERING No.19 (S. MET. GAS CO.)DIV. No1 DISTRICT. 1921

 

Does anyone have a copy of

If so can you please check if Foddering is listed ?

thanks

Sorry ozmedals, I haven't a copy of the book myself. Perhaps your local library might be able to get it for you through the inter-library loan system. Its a nice looking group of medals.
