Help with SWB
Hi,
I have obtained a Services Rendered badge, but the number on the rear is 'MS114", which was not traced on Ancestry. The MS is also a prefix I haven't been able to find out about, do any members have any ideas? It shows no signs of having had a number erased and the font is the same as other SWB I have Thanks Gary |

The prefix "MS" is for the Merchant Navy (Merchant Service). There were only around 155 issued so are quite scarce.
The records are available to download (for a small fee) at the National Archives. I will send you a PM in a bit. Andy |
