His Majesty The KING has been pleased to award the Imperial Service Medal to the following officers:- HOME CIVIL SERVICE. Davis, Albert Edward, Engine Fitter (Chargeman), H.M. Dockyard, Gibraltar. But of course there is no telling if this is your Albert Edward Regards Martin -----Original Message----- From: eng-hertfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-hertfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lynne Charles Sent: 21 December 2009 8:25 AM To: eng-hertfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HRT] Albert Edward Davis MBE born 1870 Hi And seasons greetings.
