The Navy List, August 1914

[talisman]

I was timed out from making any further amendments to my post, so here is an amended version:

Hi

Have you downloaded his service record?

Navy list shows appointment as AP 23 November 1904, there is also a note 'lent to Colonial Office for service in Northern Nigeria.' - Note this is possibly the 1908 Navy List!

There is also an 'm' against his name, which indicates the award of a medal. Checking the medal rolls he was awarded the Queens South Africa Medal with the clasp for Orange Free State while serving as an Assistant Clerk on HMS Naiad during the second Boer War.

Many thanks Martin and I will take up your suggestion. Alistair
