Ralph Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 It appears he was a Seaman Gunner, had two Good Conduct stripes and was at one time rated as a leading seaman so may have worn that rank insignia.He had WW1 service so would have been entitled to the 1914/15 Star BWm/Victory Medal (looking at his service.)Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Maroli Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thank you for the info. I have his Trio but have wondered if he would of had a LSGC with 12 years active service and 4 of his 6 reserve years during WWI?~ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 No - He would have had to do 15 years total in the RN - Carry over of RFR service to complete time for a RN LS Medal was not eligible in the reckoning. I also note he had a "Good" conduct rating in 1915 - he had to maintain a "VG" rating to qualify.Awards of the Navy LS Medal are normally shown by "Traced Medal" and a date on his service sheet.Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Johnson Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Awards of the Navy LS Medal are normally shown by "Traced Medal" and a date on his service sheet.Except for bad boys the date will be 15 years after commencement of adult service. Boy service didn't count for the medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
