Andrew Hesketh Posted 15 May , 2005 Share Posted 15 May , 2005 Not a MIC as such, but I have a correspondent who sent me this (see below). Not having much of a clue concerning the RM's I'm hoping someone can translate where Ive put a ?! Thanks in advance! WATERFIELD James William Registered No. 11983 Division Arty Rank: 1. S+E \ STE ? 2. Gunn 2nd cl \ Gunn 2nd ch ? 3. Gunner 4. Act Bomb 5. Gnr No. on Ship’s Books (what does this mean?) 1# 10 / 10 2# 10/ 39 3# 7 / 30 Also he is listed as 'In Desertion' from 10 June 1912 - 16 Sept 1913. What does this mean? P.S.

Andrew Hesketh Posted 22 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 22 May , 2005 Oops. It appears that, by posting a reply to my own request, I have accidentally bumped this request back to the top. How silly of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 22 May , 2005 Share Posted 22 May , 2005 Andrew, I don't think that STE is a rank but in naval or marine terms would be short for 'Shore Training Establishment' Regards Michael D.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
