Title: Navy records
Post by: Boxeo on Monday 23 November 20 10:58 GMT (UK)

Any experts on here at reading navy records? They roughly date from 1920s - 1940.

The files are too big to post on here so if anyone could give me a hand working them out I would be very grateful, will either message or email you.

Thanks   :)

Hi

I would recommend posting some of the records page by page as the help you will get is amazing.  I did this back in about May 2017. I was a complete novice and was researching several members of my family in the Navy. I started by just scanning the front page of a service record and attaching it here.
