Title: Advice please WW1 naval personnel
Post by: Jack TT on Tuesday 21 April 20 18:56 BST (UK)

Hi
I have copies of service pages for 2 naval personnel. ( 1 page each plus a LSGC page for Greet)
James Daly 298295 HMS Orion
Charles Greet 268659 ( D490 on rim of medal) RNR.
They both appear to have service into the 1920s, however there is no mention of WW1 medal entitlement.
I have tried Fold 3, but cannot see anything, am I missing something?? is there another search engine for naval people?

You don't need to go to Fold 3, you can search Royal Navy medal rolls on Ancestry

Thanks very much MG, unfortunately I don't have a subscription to Ancestry, only the Fold 3 site, I was not sure if that site could be searched for naval records of WW1 medals.
