reilly Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 Can anyone help me decipher my great uncles Simon Driscoll's service records. He shares his sheet with another sailor called Napoleon Barlow (what a great name!). But Simon records are on the bottom half of two sheets Simon had a long naval career joining up in 1903 and being invalid out in 1920 My questions are: Can anyone tell me why he was invalided out - i can not figure out the writing on the paper? Also he was on HMS Ceaser during the war - can anyone tell me what this ship was and did? How can I find out if Simon won any medals? Any other information members can gleam from his records would be most helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 25 February , 2006 Share Posted 25 February , 2006 Details of his Medals may be entered @ the bottom of the Sheets{there is usually a section:Medals & Decorations,sometimes nothing is entered or it is very feint & doesn't show up on Copying.There are Naval Medal Index cards for WW1 Medals but these are not available "Online",only by going to,or getting a Researcher to,get them @ the NA.
