CassieRae Posted 1 August , 2020 Share Posted 1 August , 2020 Am looking at Medal Rolls at TNA but there are ca 250 pages of these and I am now on page 10. Is there an easier way please? They are not in Alpha order, almost as if they were dropped on floor. HAMMOND, Robert 955068 I have a note that his medal card is at: Naval War Medal Roll:1914-1920 Volume 48 Bu there is no place to add this it seems. 15 Mar 1916 Hospital Aldershot Anyone cover Mercantile Marines please?

Thank you so much for this Horartio2 and Acknown - now got it - not much more information than I had though - is this an index to more or is that it?

Keith_history_buff Posted 2 August , 2020 Share Posted 2 August , 2020 There are four sets of medal rolls for the ratings of the Mercantile Marine Reserve. The lists are in alphabetical order, so there would be no need for an alphabetical index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can obtain about Admiralty medal awards is in ADM 171, although some MMR men also have merchant seaman medal records under BT 351 - https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/merchant-seamens-campaign-medal-records-1914-1918/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
