Thomas Usher HMS Vengeance
« on: Thursday 24 January 13 19:52 GMT (UK) »
I have a family photo of three men, one an elderly man wearing 3 medals, one a sailor from HMS Vengeance and another one man in a suit. I also have a medal and ribbon which I have identified as World War 1 service medal.  The ribbon has dark blue, white and orange vertical stripes. The sailor is identified on the back of the photo as Thomas Usher  HMS Vengeance, and the elderly man may be John Usher the father of my relative Harry Usher. I have not been able to find out anything about either men's war service although I have searched on Find My Past.  Any ideas pleas.
