Name may be HMS Royal Arthur

A little lighter for you Elizabeth.
Not sure about name - I can see there was a ship called the Royal Arthur, at some stage during the history of the Royal Navy. It was late 1800 and early 1900s - this bloke looks more modern doesn't he - there was also a shore establishment named Royal Arthur - in Skegness then at Corsham. (Been doing my homework! ;))
