joseph Posted 13 October , 2006 Share Posted 13 October , 2006 Jon, Pre 1934 as Vivid changed its name to HMS Drake, the badge is a Stoker, I would suspect he joined as a boy because of the length of his sleeves. That style of uniform was worn mainly unchanged from the great war to the 1970s. Have you got any possible names? Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
