May I call your attention to the following Ladies and Gents

Royal Naval Association · Robert Smith ·
I have been given these medals and would like to pass them onto the shipmates family, former Radio Supervisor, if anyone recognises the name please message me, it is also believed that he was in the Masons but not sure which province.

John Potter There was a Melville in 392 sparkers class, Frobisher 36, HMS Ganges 11 recruitment 1958, and this official number is that era. Might be worth posting this, or checking, on Ganges FB page.

Peter Latham recipient has GSM Borneo and Malay Peninsula,( like me) this means eligiable for P.J.M. from Malaysia.
