Liopa Posted 19 February , 2022 Share Posted 19 February , 2022 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 , 2022 Share Posted 20 February , 2022 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 , 2022 Share Posted 20 February , 2022 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...

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...
