Old Salts - sailors who enlisted prior to 1900
Many older Navy men were either still serving or recalled from the coastguard or civilian professions during the war but as the Royal Navy seeding documents only start at 1900 they need to be added to the LOTFWW site manually. The service records for these men would need to be accessed via Ancestry http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=60522
