World War One / Re: Royal Navy Reserves Records Abbreviations Help Please

Thank you so much AllanUK. 

This is my husbands great uncle and we have been looking for information regarding him for a number of years. 

I knew he was a fisherman, but with the 1921 census coming out I could not work out why I could not find him.  The census shows his wife and children and states she was married.  I had looked everywhere to see if he was at sea.  When I looked into the military records I saw he was using one of his middle names Walter.

You have helped fill in some gaps.

This is a roll call and I know that Walter was given the Victory Medal, British War Medal. 

I have attached the information from the roll call which is on Ancestry, along with the image of his entry.

Is there anyone who can tell me what the abrev: 2 Hd. stand for?  Also what the WW means for how the medals were given and I.C 481/1922 in the last column (which is remarks)?

Also why someone would receive these medals.  As you can tell I am not from a military background.

Any help would be appreciated.
