Liopa Posted 19 February Share Posted 19 February Dear colleagues, I would greatly appreciate your help in clarifying two dates in the Service record - circled in red below. I think it's 30 May 18 and 31 May 18, but I'm not sure.. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNCVR Posted 20 February Share Posted 20 February Hello Liopa - I expect you are aware this rating (an ancestor?) had some conduct problem resulting in a loss of his GCB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello RNCVR, yes, thank you! Very interesting (and probably sad) - 0 GCBs after 11 years of service... He got them back in 1915-1917, correct?

RNCVR Posted 20 February Share Posted 20 February Yes, his 3rd GCB awarded 2/8/17, somewhat a faint entry but I think that is the date. Hobday never progressed beyond AB ( Able Seaman), I expect by choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly, he had lost his 2 GCB's 14/8/05, then 1 Restored on 3/2/15 (during wartime), then 2nd GCB Granted 1/1/16. He cleaned up his act during wartime. I don't expect his offenses were really serious as he was never relegated to 2nd class for Conduct & no cell/jail time noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
