Peter Waters Tregidgo was born in Falmouth on 28 August 1856 and joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Second Class in H.M.S. Ganges on 10 March 1873. He remained in Ganges (the boys’ training ship then based in Falmouth) throughout the whole of the period covered by the Ashantee Medal, before transferring to H.M.S. Cambridge on 1 July 1874, and then to H.M.S. Swiftsure on 23 June 1875. Advanced Able Seaman on 1 July 1878, he then transferred to the depot ship H.M.S. Royal Adelaide on 5 October 1878, and remained in this ship for the whole period covered by the South Africa Medal, being promoted Leading Seaman on 4 February 1880. Advanced to Petty Officer First Class on 21 March 1882, he was awarded his Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in 1891, whilst serving in H.M.S. Vivid, and was shore pensioned on 22 August 1894. He subsequently joined the Royal Fleet Reserve. It would appear that the only medal to which he was entitled was the Royal Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.
