    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!

    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

    Brenda
