Allan1892 Posted 17 February , 2021 Share Posted 17 February , 2021 Apologies for posting this as it is pre WW1 but I can't find an answer elsewhere. The Registers for Royal Marines Pensions has a column entitled 'In what ship wounded and last served'. The majority of entries show a ship's name but there are a number on each page that shows '1DM' '2DM' etc. I have attached an example below (courtesy of Find My Past) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 17 February , 2021 Share Posted 17 February , 2021 Never seen this before but, since they are not ships, the probably refer to the RM Grand Divisions of the mid-19th Century. I would guess that they are Chatham (1), Portsmouth (2), Plymouth (3) and Woolwich (4). DM may stand for something like Divisional Muster. eg. Stephen BILLINGTON (Portsmouth) = https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10093605 and Samuel BEARDMORE (Woolwich) = https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10093605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
