per ardua per mare per terram Posted 5 April , 2007 Share Posted 5 April , 2007 He will have had a 1914/15 Star trio (but you can check that in ADM 171/90). The service records that you could find for him depend on what rank he finally achieved. As a starting point there is a partial card index to the officers records (ADM 196) at Kew (its in the microfilm reading room, but still on cards).

espiegle Posted 10 April , 2007 Share Posted 10 April , 2007 Does it show whether he had any medals? No war service noted up to 1908, so no medals. I expect his service papers will be at Kew. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARABIS Posted 12 January , 2008 Share Posted 12 January , 2008 Some years ago I was given a Silver War Badge numbered RN 44852 & have just got around to researching it with help from a member of the British Medal Forum. As you will see from the attached list, it was issued to Commander N. E. Ismonger R.N. on 2. Dec. 1919 from H.M.S. Vivid. Can't find an officer named Ismonger for the Great War period in the London Gazette or the Oct. 1915 & Dec. 1918 Navy Lists, so it would appear to be Noel Everard Isemonger. The Dec. 1918 Navy list gives him as being second in command of the Boys' Training Establishment H.M.S. Powerful [appointed 13 Sept. 1918].
