Merchant Navy (MN), Royal Navy Reserve (RNR) and Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve (RNVR)
I am very saddened to see how the Merchant Navy is still being left out of history. Sadly the records are poor and finding a deckboy is almost impossible, especially if there are 1000 possible occurrences of that name. This comm is for the Merchant Navy men as well as seamen from the Royal Navy Reserve and the RNVR that I have found in my travels.
