per ardua per mare per terram Posted 26 September , 2006 Share Posted 26 September , 2006 He was in the Trawler Service: copeis of his RNR service cards are probably on microfische at Kew, in BT 377/7 and these are filed in service number order. His medals will be listed on the medal roll ADM 171/123 this is a microfilm, if he qualified for the Merchant Marine War Medal, the card index for that is on fische in BT 351.
