DanMorris1989 Posted 13 February , 2019 Share Posted 13 February , 2019 (edited) Hi all Have an SR and lists 4 times the sub-rating of WKA ... what does this mean? Our man was an Ord. Tel aboard ships such as Pelorus, Implacable and Dragon between 1916 and 1927 Any help would be great many thanks Dan Edited 14 February , 2019 by DanMorris1989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 13 February , 2019 Share Posted 13 February , 2019 Not the foggiest, but I'll ask the comms rating I married Might it be W/T O? Are you looking at type or hand-written script? Some letter forms have changed dramatically in a hundred years. If manuscript it would be great to see an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 14 February , 2019 Share Posted 14 February , 2019 Definitely looks like W.K.A. Baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Currell Posted 14 February , 2019 Share Posted 14 February , 2019 According to the thread at https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/63224-double-cap-band/ , WKA is watchkeeper's allowance (see joseph's post, second from the last). It's also mentioned at the bottom of the page at http://www.pbenyon.plus.com/LondonGazette/Telegraphists_Pay.html . Regards, Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
