WW1 Navy Medals note ?
« on: Tuesday 26 December 23 14:45 GMT (UK) »
SPO 229750 Arthur George Norman of the Navy in WW1 killed 31 May 1916

His Medals Record shows 1914/15 Star and British War Medal and Victory Medal

But his Medal record has note on that column end saying "Ww"

Any idea what that means ?

The date of death is the Battle of Jutland. Do you what ship he was on? There were a few sunk on that day.
