Guest Jocie Posted 1 November , 2004 Share Posted 1 November , 2004 I have dowloaded a medal card for Louis Charles LANCASTER He was a Marine Inspector in the Mombasa Marine Defence Force awarded a Victory medal and British Star. Theatre of war was British East Africa and German East Africa. He has a disembarkation date of 01:02:1915 I'm new to Military history and would be very grateful for some advice What a great site this is!

Terry Denham Posted 1 November , 2004 Share Posted 1 November , 2004 Welcome Jocie You will get plenty of help here. What sort of advice do you need? Do you need to know about the man, the unit or the medals? (or all three!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocie Posted 2 November , 2004 Share Posted 2 November , 2004 Thanks for your swift response! My knowledge of this area of research is so dismal that I would be very grateful for help and guidance in any or all of the areas!! Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 2 November , 2004 Share Posted 2 November , 2004 His medals are probably the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal. We need an East Africa theatre expert here. Let's see if one appears. Meanwhile I'll see what I can dig up on the Mombabsa unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocie Posted 2 November , 2004 Share Posted 2 November , 2004 I think/hope I have added a copy of the certificate to this message. I'm sure it makes more sense to you than it does to me! Not sure of the best way to do this so hope it works!! medals.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
