Hi Phil,
Very many thanks for your information. I had managed to track down the entry in the London Gazette, although I am still no closer to finding out what the BEM was awarded for. I’ve contacted Southampton archives to ask if they keep an archive of local newspapers, in the hope that he may have been mentioned when awarded the medal. From an entry in the 1939 register, it appears that he was seconded from Risdon Beazley to the Royal Naval Reserve.
Thank you for the link to Leonard Carrington - we know very little about Grandad’s family, so every bit of information is welcome!
Please feel free to ‘intrude’ if you know any more!
