First

Thank you gentlemen for your help.

The last bit in the puzzle is the 'REMARKS" section of the record.

From what I can work our is that Richard was invalided out of the RN, suffering from Epilepsy and ??????????? with engs

does anybody know what the words are and other than epilepsy what they mean. In particular the inclusion of the word 'merchant' unless this refers to Richard's service as a D.A.M.S. Gunner.

Kindest regards

I think you have to spilt the two.

Invalided epilepsy

Merchant services with engs

Was he in the Merchant Navy or serving on one of their ships.

All entrys in the remarks column refer to entry's on the Service certificate. Follow the reference mark and you will find a corresponding entry. IE the entry GIB is not followed by a 4 but the reference 'tick and two cross marks' which corresponds with the remarks column about him recieving his badge in Sept 1917 whilst on DAMS.

Charles, Steven.

The answer is yes. Kirsty thinks I'm something terrific, like old sailors I walk on water.

At present she is she admits pestering her Nan, about her (Kirsty's) Great Grandfather, unfortunately her Nan has had to admit that she really knows very little, about her father and that Kirsty probably knows more that her.

So gentlemen, a greatful thanks from Down Under.

Kindest Regards
