Kath Posted 9 August , 2020 Share Posted 9 August , 2020 In a crew list a man has "discharge in goal" in the Particulars of Discharge column. What does this mean, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 9 August , 2020 Share Posted 9 August , 2020 Isn't it likely to be "discharge in gaol"? Discharged while in imprisonment, presumably as a consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCVR Posted 9 August , 2020 Share Posted 9 August , 2020 He might have been discharged to shore - SNLR( Services No Longer Required) after his spell in cells. Is it possible for you to post his Service Record so this comment might be seen in context with other entries? Might assist in interpreting this entry. Thanks, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNCVR Posted 9 August , 2020 Share Posted 9 August , 2020 Does not assist me without viewing in context with his other entries Kath, perhaps a mate will be able to provide some information somewhat better than I. Best... Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headgardener Posted 9 August , 2020 Share Posted 9 August , 2020 I'm inclined to think that it's a typo and they meant "gaol". Or maybe J McBride's record as 'keeper for the ships football team was so abysmal that they decided to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
