M.B.1472 J.H. GREGG. C.M.M R.N.V.R.

[peter monahan]

I am attempting to research this man on behalf of the Canadian War Museum, which has his Victory Medal 1914-1919.  Other than the rather cryptic title, which may or may not be what is engraved on the medal, I only know that he served in the R.N.V.R.

 

I don't fancy paying to access the R.N.V.R. records in the UK, on behalf of my government's museum, but wondered whether

 

A) there is likely to be a site which might have information OR even

 

B) whether anyone can shed light on the 'M.B. 1472' designation.

 

A J.H. Gregg arrived in Quebec City, from Liverpool, in November 1919, listing his occupation as 'Engineer'.  may or may not be the same man.  

 

Any help or hints or inspired guesses much appreciated!

Hi Peter,

a bit late but for the record…

 

M.B. is an RNVR rank

- Motorboatman

 

C.M.M. is an RNVR rank

- Chief Motor Mechanic 

 

and I can’t find anyone to match him, I have no paid access but usually still something even if I can’t access it 🤷‍♂️
 

He must still be on the medal rolls surely?
