1. Re: [GAL] Drummond, Victoria M.B.E. & Lloyds War Medal for Gallantry at sea [1]
Hi Chris, I have a book titled "Heroes of the Merchant Navy" written by Leonard R. Gribble published in 1944 that has a story (Chapter X) and a picture (page 14) of Victoria Alexandrina Drummond in uniform. In the remarks for the photgraph from the "Planet News" it says" Miss Drummond, the only woman engineer in the Merchant Navy, is seen leaving Buckingham Palace after recieving the O.B.E.". In Chapter X, page 158-161 describes who she was and how she was awarded the O.B.E. ? She also won the Lloyd'

It appears that no one has answered this yet. Unfortunately I don't have time at present to look into it more deeply, but of the double row: 1939 means eligible for 1939-45 Star AT means " " Atlantic " AF " " " Africa " PA " " " Pacific " WM " " " War Medal CL I suspect means clasp and its actual name depends upon which column it's in. There is a (conventionally) published biography of Victoria Drummond, published by, IIRC, the Institute of Ma
3. [GAL] Drummond, Victoria M.B.E. & Lloyds War Medal for Gallantry at sea [1]
Good morning, I've been asked to interpret a National Archives page, Catalogue Reference BT/395/1, image reference 2801, which includes reference to Drummund, Victoria, the female Merchant Navy engineer in WW2 who received the MBE for her actions. I have a copy of this return which I can forward, but basically in the box with her name, there is her number 1026296 [not certain what this refers to - perhaps RNVR or RNR], her award M.B.E., and a date 14.10.05. It is this date of 14.10.05 which is

Ken, Many thanks for that. Definitly the civilian M.B.E. (interesting slip). Apart from trying to find the full citation for Victoria's Lloyds War Medal for Gallantry at Sea, another question that came up is that in the BT 395 return for WWII campaign medals claimed by merchant seamen, there is a date in the box with her name and Discharge Book number. This date is 14.10.05 She was born in 1894 and so we are wondering what this date could represent. Someone suggested se 'adjusted' her date of birth
5. Re: [GAL] The DCM [1]
Bill, Sgt Walter Stanley LONGMORE, 4918979, Hallamshire Battalion of The York and Lancaster Regiment was awarded a DCM which was Gazetted on 11 Oct 1945. You should be able to view his citation over the internet by accessing the London Gazette web-site, and searching for his name. With his service number you should be able to obtain more details of his service via army records.

6. [GAL] The DCM [1]
Hi folks, this is my first time to post to this list so please bear with me. I had an uncle who received a gallantry award towards the end of the war or possibly Palestine at the end of the war. I believe it was the DCM. His name was Walter Stanley Longmore and he came from Brierley Hill in the West Midlands. I don't have much to go on, but how or where would I start. Thanks in advance. Talk to you soon, Bill
