Hi
I have found a WW1 merchant seaman medal card of my gg grandad, and i knew he was on the ships as a fireman (from certs) but didnt know he was involved in WW1. he recieved both the British War Medal and the Mercantile marine medal so i know he was actively involved but how can i found out where or how he was involved?
The Southampton records office where the marine records are held is just down the road from me, and i went there a few years ago and they didnt have any information on him so I was surprised to find this record from the National Archives, but im not sure where else to go now?
