Help wanted in research of a WWII casualty

[Rodney Mills]

Hate to be a pest, but I see his discharge book was R2048-11 is there anyway to find out the rest of his ships?

Cheers, Rodney

[Doc Vernon]

Rodney you will need his CRS10 for the copy of his Sea Service, which will hold all his Ships etc. Thats if the Record still exists ??
Cheers

Will look up the Reference and post it as soon as i find it
Cheers

NB That Number is R204871 Rodney

[Doc Vernon]

If CRS10 Exists Rodney it should be within this Series, if applying you will have to give as much detail as you can, as there is no Seamans Pouch as far as i can see.
Also as said before Southampton Archives may be the place to look as well for same

hello Rodney
Uncle's ship got as far as the Barents Sea and that is in Arctic waters. He should be entitled to the Arctic Star

[Doc Vernon]

The Arctic Star is a campaign medal of the United Kingdom, awarded to members of the British Armed Forces and Merchant Navy for service in World War II. This was for support of Convoys in North Russia. The Arctic Star is a backdated award, coming nearly seventy years after the end of conflict in World War Two.
