hmsk212 Posted 15 August , 2019 Share Posted 15 August , 2019 (edited) Hi Trying to identify this vessel ( part of the Dover Patrol from May 17 to Nov 18 Steve Edited 15 August , 2019 by hmsk212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 15 August , 2019 Share Posted 15 August , 2019 The first name looks like Attentive, cruiser of the Dover Patrol, but I'm flummoxed by the name in brackets. Could the word be "boat crew" and the man thus aboard one of the torpedo boats or patrol boats attached to Attentive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 15 August , 2019 Share Posted 15 August , 2019 (edited) I think it is probably "Spare Crew". Borne as the ship's company of ATTENTIVE (List 5) and not the more often seen "tender to....." of a ship's name in brackets (normally List 12).

hmsk212 Posted 15 August , 2019 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2019 Hi Thanks for the replies, whilst I knew the parent / base ship was Attentive I couldn't work out the name in brackets. I think that Horatio2 has nailed it with Spare Crew. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
