My Grt, grt Uncle went down with HMS Indefatigable at Jutland, would someone be kind enough to tell me what medals he would have been entitled too.

Thanking you in advance

Welcome to the forum.

I’m sure it would help members of you posted your ancestors name so the RN medal rolls could be checked to hopefully give you a definitive answer rather than a “guesstimate”.

His Service Record will be in ADM188 & RN 1WW medal roll is in ADM171.

At the suggestion of tullybrone, I include my Great Grt Uncles name,

 

Stoker Harry Albert Guinan/Guynan from London born 1896

He was entitled to the 1914-15 Star, Victory Medal and British War Medal trio. The medal roll shows that these were claimed by and issued to his father.

Hi RNCVR

Thank you for this info, however, as a family we did know this already.

 

All we would  like to know is what medals he would have been entitled to, so this can be added to our family archive for the benefit of future generations.

 

Regards

Dave
