uk silver war badge records 1914 - 1920
« on: Thursday 11 July 19 04:01 BST (UK) »
Have just had "hint" from Ancestry that there is a record of a Uk Silver War Badge for Victor Edward Grover (1897 - 1980). Not being a paying member of the site I am unable to look up the details. Would someone be able to look this up for me and let me know what info is on it please. Regards Tina

1955 Pte Victor Edward Grover, 30th R Fusiliers.  Badge No:  10055.  Enlisted 29.5.1915, Discharged 3.4.1916.  Sickness para 392 xvi.  Did not serve overseas.

If you live in the UK, then most libraries have access to Ancestry.

Thanks for that. Can't be the right Grover as mine did serve overseas.

That is definitely the right one then. My husband only knew his grandfather was in army didn't know about him being in the air force.  Am not a paying member of findmypast. Thankyou for that info. Tina

His RAF record is on Ancestry under Pensions. There's not much there except to say his application was rejected. It does say he was a motor mechanics assistant so much needed by the newly formed RAF.
