Thanks to Night Owl I have found a Naval record for my Wrightson chappy, but am a bit puzzled and wonder if anyone can help me.
On the form, there is a heading which reads "ships etc. served in", then there is "list", then "No."
Under this heading is the following:
Pembroke 11 (that should have a little top and bottom to show that it's 2)
Gibralta
Pembroke 11
Aclason (I think, hard to read)
Victory ( ditto)
Heela
I assumed that they were WW1 naval ships, but the only one listed is Gibralta, which seems strange. Also, the dates listed alongside, all run concurrently, i.e., there are no gaps for a day or two on shore which means that he would have leapt from one ship to another!!
So what I am trying to find out, in a rambling sort of way, is whether the list above are not ships at all, but ports - in which case does the "No." refer to the ship?????:o
