Hi Liz Have had a look in the Catalogue at the National Archives : http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/ and I think that this looks like your Archibald : Admiralty: Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services. General series to 1907. Name Wheeler, Archibald John. Official Number: 234599. Place of Birth: Gillingham, Kent. Date of Birth: 11 April 1890. Collection: Records of the Admiralty, Naval Forces, Royal Marines, Coastguard, and related bodies Date range: 01 January 1905 - 31 December 1905 Reference: ADM 188/416/234599 Subjects: Armed Forces (General), Navy and whilst the place of birth doesn't agree, this looks like your Harold George since the service number ties in with the medal : Name Wheeler, Harold George. Official Number: J19936. Place of Birth: Addlestone, Surrey. Date of Birth: Admiralty: Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services. Seamen. Name Wheeler, Harold George. Official Number: J19936. Place of Birth: Addlestone, Surrey. Date of Birth: 11 March 1896. Collection: Records of the Admiralty, Naval Forces, Royal Marines, Coastguard, and related bodies Date range: 01 January 1913 - 31 December 1913 Reference: ADM 188/686/19936 Subjects: Armed Forces (General), Navy and for £3.36 you can download their service records if you take the link from the headline row. Should you have any queries regarding what is on their service record, if you send me a copy of the document you've received from Kew I should be pleased to try and help resolve them.
