What is British Victory Medal Naming meaning?

[Moran James]

I have bought a medal group in this afternoon.

But I do not know what is medal's Naming meaning?

Two medals have the same Naming which show: J. 42624 P. MACFARLANE. A. B. R. N.

I do not know what is that meaning. It is an officer or an Solider? How Can I find them information.

Thank you!!!

Thank you very much Paul.

It is A.B means Able Bodied Seaman? What is "J" meaning in the initial.

J is the prefix for Seamen and Communications ratings.

You can download his service record at the Brit national archives for a few bucks http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D6941554

It might not be exciting, date of discharge and ships served on etc. but knowing the ships will give a clue to any sea battles or patrols he took part in.
