Frajohn Posted 16 March , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 March , 2005 Don Many thanks for the explanation. Excuse my ignorance on this but would you please explain " (late R.I.M) " Also would it therefore be safe to assume that the cause of death would more likely be, natural or accidental?

kin47 Posted 16 March , 2005 Share Posted 16 March , 2005 Hello John R.I.M. was Royal Indian Marine forerunner of the Indian Navy. His name appears in the list of Officers and Men killed in Action, so his death was directly attributed to enemy action, but I don't have the details. don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
