Simon127 Posted 15 October , 2013 Share Posted 15 October , 2013 Hi all, I am trying to find out a few facts about Royal Navy Stoker W. Watson (Service Number k/1492). I'm a bit of a stranger to researching Royal Navy personnel and don't really know where I should be looking. I do not believe that he was a casualty as I have looked on the CWGC website. If anyone could give me a steer on how best to find out more, or has access to any information on this chap I'd be very grateful. Simon PS - My apologies if there is a separate section for RN servicemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon127 Posted 16 October , 2013 Author Share Posted 16 October , 2013 Thank you gents. Much appreciated. I will download his service record and find out more. Ralph - when you say 'Hercules', I presume you mean he served aboard HMS Hercules, which was with the fleet at Jutland? Cheers, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
