In my father's case I could find no record of any ships that he sailed on being involved though from what he told me, I was about 6-7, he might have been. I asked and the answer was no he wasn't. He was Merchant Navy. I applied for my mother-in-law for her late husband. It came through quite quickly.
I may have asked this before, but does anyone know where you can check for merchant sailors? My grandfather spoke of being on the Arctic Convoys, but we don't have any direct evidence (His paperwork seems to have been lost at some point), I have his other medals and would like to 'complete the set' if elligible.
