Aniki Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hi, can I please ask for help in identyfikacja the genuity of a lsgc navy qe2 version for h.m.s. drake? Naming is ended with it, but quite unusual that this vessel was operational between late 1930s and 50s. Many thanks in advance for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Aniki This is not an area I know very much about but I would say that if you can give us the name on the medal and a photograph it is more likely that someone would be able to help you.

Marcon1 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi Aniki, A Royal Naval Long Service and Good Conduct Medal (QE II type) exist since 1953-54. So, if HMS Drake was still active in those years and the recipient was still aboard then such medal could be issued to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POWCollector Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 HMS Drake is the name given for HMNB Devonport (Guzz). This is similar to HMS Excellent which is the NCHQ on Whale Island in Portsmouth. My Grandfathers LSGC is also named to a shore establishment so I think this is absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
