Thanks Doc, from 39 to 45 i have records of 8 convoys and one convoy rescue ship/trawler, however i will complete the form and try again many thanks for your help. I will keep you updated if i have any success.
Hi seanmac I dont understand if there is so many Convoys (Presume your Dad was in these??) that there are No Medal Listings for him? So yes think that applying would claer it all up!
Cheers and best of British!
Cheers

So possibly of interest Also read posts 7,8 and 9 on this Link seanmac it may assist in some ways!?

More to ponder seanmac
Here is a Link for his posible CRS10 which would hold a lot more info if you apply and they tel you it is available , for a cost of course, but would have a record of any Meals he may have received.
You will need to quote the other reference Numbe as well, and add as much info as possible .

Hello Seanmac
Do you have the 8 Convoy numbers ? eg. PQ18 ( to Archangel Sept 1942)
Very interested to hear about a Rescue Ship. Do you have the name of her?
Hope that your search goes well
