Hello, I am researching my Grandfathers service with the Royal Navy during WW2. I have a copy of the Certificate of Service which shows that he enlisted in 1940 at Lowestoft (Sparrows Nest). I have a list of ships and or land bases with dates but one is very puzzling. He served on 'Aeolus' during 1943 but I can find no record of its existence - only as a WW1 ship
My next question is about his awards. He was awarded 3 chevrons - what does this mean? We also have the Atlantic Star.

Hope someone can help. Thanks
