Naval Long Service Good Conduct Medal

[Retired1811]

This is engraved, "Arthur Rowe Color Sergt No. 360 CH.R.M.L.I."

What does the "No. 360" and "CH.R.M.L.I." stand for?

Thanks

[Ralph]

360 is his number, RMLI = Royal Marine Light Infantry

His service record appears to be available from the The National Archives

Further to Ralph's post the CH indicates that the medal recipient was in the Chatham Division of the Royal Marines. Chatham is a town in Kent, England with a long association with the Royal Navy/Royal Marines. The Divisional HQ of the Chatham Division was based in Chatham. Other marine division HQs were based at Portsmouth and Plymouth. Each RM Division had a number of RMLI companies under its administrative and disciplinary control.
