Default Rank on LS&GC medal.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what CMEM(M) stands for on naval LS&GC medal. The recipient has just died and the widow wants to write something about his service on his memorial card. Many thanks Pete

Default Rank on LS&GC medal

Chief Petty Officer (the C part - abbreviated to Chief) Marine Engineering Mechanic (Mechanical).

And because it is the 'rank' of a rating it is known as a rate - not a rank.
