daggers Posted 3 January , 2007 Share Posted 3 January , 2007 HMS Campania was an ex-Cunarder, once holder of the Blue Riband, sent for scrap but revived by the Admiralty and converted as an early aircraft carrier. Would a 'marine fireman' (or stoker) around 1916 have been RN, RNR or MN? I would like to trace his service record but don't know where to start.

historydavid Posted 3 January , 2007 Share Posted 3 January , 2007 Daggers, if he was on the Campania he could have been either RN, RNR or MMR. If you post his name someone will probably be able to tell you which. Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kath Posted 4 January , 2007 Share Posted 4 January , 2007 CAMPANIA Official No:102086 http://www.mun.ca/mha/index.php have Crew Lists only up to 1914. Have you tried NMM? Kath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replies. The ship's official number will help. The man I am interested in was William Hooley, born Liverpool approx December 1882. I have just tried RN documents online at Kew with no result, so MN looks the next best bet. Daggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatio2 Posted 5 January , 2007 Share Posted 5 January , 2007 RN Docs on-line at Kew are just that - RN only. So do not give up on RNR and RNVR - perhaps more likely than MMR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
