Next of kin address Portsmouth 14 Wyndham Road, Francis Avenue England Mother Emma Case More info Joined the Royal Navy in January 1900 and served aboard HMS Lion (at Jutland) from 16/05/1915 to 16/10/1918. Pensioned in 15/04/1922. He was paid Prize Bounty for being at the Battle of Jutland, on 12/05/1921. A printer by trade before he entered the RN, he started out as a Stoker but during his time aboard HMS Lion he was rated as Acting Stoker Petty Office, but worked as the Admirals Printer, so must have quite a lot of contact with Admiral Beatty. Thank you to Robert Stapley for this information about his maternal grandfather.
