I would be grateful if you would look at 222904 HJ Clark RN. I have his STAR and VM and from memory I am sure he had an MSM but I cant think where I put his copy service record.

These were the first medals I ever bought - cost me something like £1.25 when I was about 8 yrs old.

Chris - many thanks. This confirms my memory is not a sieve afterall (!) and the LG reference is useful for my next visit to Kew.

My grandad CERA Joseph Arthur Ashton M1183 received an MSM for his services in 1917 but it was not published in LG until June 1919. Why the delay?

The Order in Council of 14 Jan 1919 allowing these awards specifically stated that these medals would be awarded without annuity so I think that has a lot to do with it

All The Best
