A relative of mine has the letters I.S.M after his name on his headstone. Can anyone tell me what they might mean? Thanks!

Possibly the Imperial Service Medal, awarded to Civil Servants who complete 25 years meritorious service. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Service_Medal The closely related Imperial Service Order entitled the holder to use the post-nominal letters "I.S.O.", so I presume that the the Imperial Service Medal might be "I.S.M.". I'n not sure where lists of recipients might be readily consulted but the London Gazette online archive would be a good place to try.
