halifax Posted 30 April , 2008 Share Posted 30 April , 2008 I've been researching Leading Seaman Alfred Nicholas Nash, KIA 31/5/1916 on HMS Black Prince, I have visited Kew and found his service record but it does not tell me what his position/trade was on board ship, he joined the navy in 1905 as a Boy Sailor and progressed through a number of large ships and shore bases until his death at Jutland with the sinking of HMS Black Prince, after 5 years of piecing his details together I've drawn a complete blank regarding his trade. Anyone got any fresh ideas? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadsac Posted 30 April , 2008 Share Posted 30 April , 2008 Steve, you may already have this, but ; NASH Alfred Nicholas, Leading Seaman, No. 237427 D.o.B ; 140990 P.o.B ; Brighton, Sussex ADM 188 / 421 - available `on line' for £3.50 L/S ; he could be L.T.O - Leading Torpedo Operator / G.S - Gunner Seaman / or `just' seaman with no special duty. Suggest you get, if you do not have already, the ADM Document from PRO, that may give the info you require. Regards Sadsac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
