Notes in Log of Crimean War Medal distribution - Royal Navy

[mckha489]

William Marshall was a Boats'ns Mate on the "Retribution" and received both the Crimean Medal and Baltic Medal, (plus another I haven't been able to identify).

For those with ancestry the log of the Retribution listing those entitled  is here https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1687/images/31793_221284-00167?pId=467542

what I am wondering is if anyone has any idea what the signature over 147 and 5/5 and T/194 might mean.
(The headings on the columns are No. Name. Ratings. No on Ships Book. When delivered or sent, remarks etc. )

Just   moving this up again in hope

What do you mean signatures?

The 5/152, 5/102 and 5/5 fractions may be shares of prize money as the Retribution had a lucky history https://www.pdavis.nl/ShowShip.php?id=1982 The Boatswains Mate and Sub Officers Steward were slightly higher ranks than the ABs & Stoker so got a higher share of any prize money.

Did the log book have a list of "Tickets" somewhere at the back? The T/xxx numbers may refer to said Tickets issued to men for a variety of things.

Just guesses though.

Did he also get the Second China War Medal? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_China_War_Medal

Well….i have been hunting for a third medal…there was a description of him in a newspaper described as wearing his three medals.  But as far as I can tell he finished on the Retribution May 1856. So it’s probably not that one.

I will look  at the back pages of the log book and see re ‘Tickets’.
Thank you for looking.
