Someone who was 43 in 1940 would have been 17 in 1914, Regards Joe Austen 9934 in OZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "TERENCE MORLEY" <t.roym@btinternet.com> To: <SFHG@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 3:26 AM Subject: Re: [SFHG] Royal Marine Police Hi Laura I'm sorry the A J Cunningham I have traced was registered the third quarter 1940 aged 43 If this is him then why are we looking in WW1 medal records, surely he would only be aged 7 when world war one broke out, If by chance you are looking for is records world war two you have to write to minister of defence Where they will conduct search for you for a fee of £30.00 non returnable, unless you are next of kin the widow , then it would be issued free of charge, as HMS Peregrine was a royal navy airfield in Ford, It is more than likely that he was Royal Military Police, Please bear in mind that mistake's are made on certificates, the word misheard perhaps, marine mistaken for military, all quite simply a spelling mistake, Terry 8298 bobthebear@talktalk.net wrote: Hi everyone Thanks for the replies. He was definately a Royal Marine Policeman (states this on his military death certificate).He was posted at HMS Peregrine (RNAS Ford) when he was killed. Have googled Royal Marine Police but only came up with Wickiepidia.Cannot narrow down his WW1 medal card as there is more than 1 A.J.Cunningham.

I have been tempted into wondering whether you're extrapolating from "RMP", which itself would be more likely, first off, to indicate Royal Military Police.
