Xtender Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hello, can anyone find out the name (person) on this case? R.D.S. Crosse, R.N? Thanks, Xt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ancestry shows a Sub-Lt. Robert D.S. Crosse entitled to a First War Trio, sent to HMS Comus. His confidential reports and service record are available from National Archives here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/search-results.asp?searchtype=browserefine&query=first_name%3drobert%7clast_name%3dcrosse&catid=33&pagenumber=1&querytype=1&mediaarray=* According to Ancestry he married twice, and died in 1967. He retired as a Commander and was latterly a company director.

Mervyn Mitton Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just for interest - a Commander in the Royal Navy - is the equivalent of a Lt. Colonel in the Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence Strong Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Very nice ensemble @ Micheal What are we looking for in the last link you posted? later Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 These items are fairly plentiful - and do not fetch very high prices. With a fitted case for the epaulettes and with the hat looking a little the worse for wear - perhaps 100 to 150 pounds on a good day. But, then you have the min. 25% commission off the 'top end'. If you are looking to sell - put it on GMIC - we don't charge a commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
