Title: John Henry Boler
Post by: steve62 on Wednesday 15 November 17 12:53 GMT (UK)

Attached Service Record of John Henry Boler and have two questions:_
1.  "Victory II  01/07/1906-23/09/1906.  Then a break to 08/10/1906-21/12/1906.  There is word "Cellsu........"  What is the word?

2. He finished with the "Victory II" - 09/05/1909-10/05/1909.  Ashore at Portsmouth SS expired.
Annotation: Joined R.N.R Portsmouth  B.3129  11/05/1909.
Where do I find that record?

Have all his family details, except D.o.D, which being a sailor might have been overseas.

Grateful for any help.

Steve
PS. Ignore the first question as file to large to attach.

That would be the gap between 23/09/1906 and 08/10/1906.
Should have realised myself on reflection :P

Thank you very much for your time.
