Help please required on Service Record

[james_harvey]

Hi just been given a service record for my cousins G Grandfather, and am puzzled by a few entries.

One is in his assement, it is missing for 1917 and has instead to be written for ** this man *****

the last word could be battle??

The other 2 bits are below the normal ship entries are two more entries

Hecla (lennox) 1st jan 19 S165 Hecla

cannot make out ships name 15 feb 19 S165 Prince George

Prince george and the ship that i cannot make out do not appear on his s/r anywhere else and what does S165 mean

All help greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

James

I cannot seem to paste the SR. I have copied it into paint and made the res smaller but still no luck, any ideas

I have just photocopied it to A3 size and now believe the ship i cannot make out to be lennox which does appear on the SR but not Prince george

For information HMS HECLA was a Depot Ship in WW1,someone here will tell you what sort of Depot ship,maybe a submarine or minesweeper or patrol craft mother ship.

HMS PRINCE GEORGE was a Majestic Class Battleship which served in the Dardanelles campaign,served through to 1918 when it was renamed HMS VICTORIOUS II.

Good hunting

many thanks guys,

but i can't work out why the last 2 entries are away from the main record of ships and why it has S165 next to them.

Still i will continue.

Kind Regards

James
