Guest Rick Research Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I was interested to see from the "Canada" scans that per the Admiralty order cited (can anyone get a copy of its text?) it appears as if each ship was simply assigned "X" number of Russian awards to be handed out in the typical British "quota" system whereby somebody deserving got nothing at all because somebody else got something-- all arbitrary numbers and not real men!!!!

Tiger-pie Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) Badges (Serjant ? )The badges are from the top left; Overseas service chevrons (upside down). Chevrons of two colours were approved. The first chevron if earned on or before 31st December 1914, will be red; if earned on or after 1st January 1915, it will be blue; and all additional chevrons after the first will be blue. Each indicated 6 months service. Gunlayer First Class (which is upside down here). Good Conduct chevrons, each stripe indicating 4 years, so a total of 12 years of "undetected crime" i.e. he was never charge under military law for any minor or major infraction.Regards;Johnsy Edited May 15, 2007 by Tiger-pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Ostapenko Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 THANK YOU !!! Now it's right ? May be you know something about this badge from Barlow lot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-pie Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 THANK YOU !!! Now it's right ? May be you know something about this badge from Barlow lot ?Yes, now its right. The overseas chevrons were worn on the right hand sleeve just above the cuff. The Gunlayers badge was worn on the right upper arm. The good conduct stripes were worn on the left upper arm along with a rank badge, if any, i.e. Leading Seaman or above. See this thread for more on RN/RAN badges: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16476Sorry Igor, the enamel badge, it doesn't ring any bells.Regards;Johnsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

186bncef Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I may be wrong, but the suspension on the Romanian medal appears to be of a later type (at least in my limited experience). I thought that WW1 suspensions were more of the barrel type as shown in the attachment, although frankly, I have only seen these in the 2nd and 3rd class examples.

S Hines Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi - Sydney Ixer is a distant relative of mine, so thanks Igor for the above information about him and his medals. I have also come across National Archives reference ADM 337/121/328 for his service record: Second Lt. S H H Ixer: full name: Sydney Henry Howard Ixer. Via the Ancestry website, I have found that he died aged 34 at the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar, Gosport, Hampshire on 20 August 1918, though I do not know the cause of death.
