Members of the Royal Navy seconded to the Mercantile Marine to man defensive weapons on merchant ships could qualify for the Mercantile Marine War Medal in addition to other campaign medals . Men who transferred in or out of the Mercantile Marine from or to the fighting services could also qualify for the award of the Victory Medal and , if appropriate , the 1914 Star or 1914 – 15 Star , while still being eligible for the Mercantile Marine War Medal . Service solely in the Mercantile Marine , however , did not count for the award of the Victory Medal or either of the two Stars
