From 1914 HMS VICTORY II was a shore station at the Crystal Palace.

From 1905-14 it was at Portsmouth.

He died in Haslar Hospital, so he could have been there all the time that he was last listed at Victory II, just his mail, pay and other administrative tasks were done there, just as Woolwich also took those tasks, but he served on Tristram. Prince of Wales, Duncan, and Tristram were all active ships when he was aboard.
