John F. Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hello, Is any familiar with the abbreviation "S.R." on this British War Medal? I found one source that said it was for "Special Reserves." but it had question mark behind it. Can anyone confirm or correctly identify? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcon1 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Hiya, It could mean: S.R. Senior Reserve RN Found this on a list of abbreviations used on medal index cards for World War 1. Regards, Marcon1. And this as abbreviation on Canadian Military documents/medals. SR Scottish Rifles (The Cameronians), Suffolk Regiment, Senior, Supplementary (or Special) Reserve, Scottish Regiment, Strength Return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cazack Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Just saw that the medal was awarded to a Pte, so would not be an RN abbreviation based on the rank, possibly ASC Remounts Specials? regards C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
