That's alright Robert, but don't let it happen again, please let us have his date and place of birth and full name, because that helps our researchers immensely. Give it a bit of time as many may be visiting families at this special time, and under threat of death if they touch a computer, or worse still enlist them in the RN! (only joking!!)

Just going by the Initials here could this be him at all?
If so his Pouch is held at NA.
For more info we need to get his CRS10
Cheers

Many thanks for the welcome, R243555 is the number we have come up with, just not as fast as you.

Bit of an aside, the other half has just started reading John Lennon's autobiography, his farther served on the Moreton Bay as a saloon steward. Small world?
