These records identify recipients of British War Medals, Mercantile Marine Medals and Silver War Badges issued to merchant seamen and officers in the First World War. A record may include the first name, last name, place of birth, and date of birth of the recipient. The content in this collection originates from <a href="https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/" target="blank">The National Archives</a> and contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. There are different qualifications for each type of medal: Mercantile Marine Medal—awarded to those who served at sea for at least six months, and on at least one voyage through a danger zone, British War Medal—automatically awarded to all recipients of the Mercantile Marine Medal, and Silver War Badge—awarded to those who were no longer fit for sea service. For British War Medals and Mercantile Marine Medals, original records may include medals, ribbons and clasps issued, the mercantile marine office (‘M.M.O.’) to which the medals were sent (in some instances a home address may be noted in this section) and discharge/RS2 number(s). Ribbons were issued in lieu of medals until the medals were minted. Clasps were awarded for taking part in a particular battle or action. Occasionally a seaman did not receive a medal. In these cases it is most likely that the merchant seaman did not fulfil the necessary criteria needed in order to be issued a medal.
