Can anyone help me with a comment on a WW1 Royal Navy record for one of my Heasman ancestral relatives? It says that in Sep 1915, he was recommended for PCM in connection with operations in Gallipoli. What does PCM stand for / mean? He had been slightly wounded in action on 16 Aug 1915 (presumably at Gallipoli) if that is of any relevance. Thank you Cordelia 14526

The abbreviation PCM usually stands for Per Calendar Month. As you say he was injured, perhaps this could be referring to an award of either a pension or a disability allowance? As you do not give any personal details, it isn't possible to look at the document that you are referring to. Best wishes, Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG Member No: 3323
