    Imperial Service Medal


    Recommended Posts

    Hi All, I picked up two case Imperial Service Medals with cases at the Show of Shows this past weekend. While I don't collect British awards these jumped out at me due to the fine case. Both are of the Queen Elizabeth II period and I was told these are the earlier version. Both are named; Stanley Eason and Edward Henry Wingrave. I was told these maybe reseachable. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Try the Gazette 11th April 1958 mentions Imperial Service Medal Edward Henry Wingrave Engine fitter HM Dockyard Portsmouth. 

    Is searching the Gazette a subscription service?

    I am banging my head against the wall with using the Gazette to research names on the Imperial Service Medal. I found one named to James Edward Danks:

    VINTAGE IMPERIAL SERVICE MEDAL AND AWARD LETTER. | eBay

     

    I go to the main page of the Gazette and click all notices then do a text search on the name and nothing. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks.

    The fastest way I've found is to search as follows:

    "surname first name middle name" supplement [Assuming there is more than one first name on the medal]

    You can enter a date range based on the obverse of the medal if you get too many hits.

    Searching Eason this way turned up one hit - the right one. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/45877/supplement/571
