Sorry for the late reply, thank you yes that is him.

I spent all weekend going through my Grandads paperwork records and this is what I have found.

Registration number LHK 26996
Service number KX 636189
Service 26/10/42 - 26/10/46

HMS Royal Arthur
HMS Rosneath

If anyone can tell me about these ships or any more information I would be really grateful.

Do you think this information is enough to request an Artic Medal?

Many thanks for your help.

HMS ROYAL ARTHUR WAS NOT A SHIP, IT WAS AN EX BUTLINS HOLIDAY CAMP in Skegness, taken over by the Navy to train new recruits,
see below, many photos , he could be on one.

HMS ROSNEATH was also a Navy shore base on the Clyde and was taken over by the USN in August 1942,
Cheers
