domwalsh Posted 12 January , 2007 Share Posted 12 January , 2007 Hi chaps, Hopefully an easy one. On a record of service for an RMLI, he is listed as serving at E.L. Deal for 5 years from 1918. Wondered what E.L. stood for. Cheers, Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted 12 January , 2007 Share Posted 12 January , 2007 L.E. may have stood for Land Establishment, but I don't know about E.L. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domwalsh Posted 13 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 13 January , 2007 Scanner buggered, Jack! But it's simply E.L. Deal in the ships and establishments column. He probably deserved an easy life as immediately before he'd served in Zeebrugge Raid! Cheers, Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 13 January , 2007 Share Posted 13 January , 2007 I wonder if the 'L' refers to a pay ledger and the 'E' to his department eg: Engineering Ledger Deal or Educational Ledger Deal or ???????????????????? regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morcombe Posted 14 January , 2007 Share Posted 14 January , 2007 Michael's got something there. I recall in 1918 "H.B.L." = Home Base Ledger on RMLI records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
