Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help needed please on RNR Service Record + RV6??
« on: Tuesday 14 May 24 11:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
Am looking for a little help on a Naval Reserve Record.

The three areas are highlighted ....

both the red and green boxes show the abbreviated names of ports - can anyone please help?

The yellow box clearly shows B Aires but is the word underneath Buenos Aires - disaster or deserted??

Finally while i know what an RV2 is - can anyone put me right on what an RV6 was???

Thanks

Apologies in advance but am seeking help on 'Sydney' on the attached record....was it a ship or a depot or what??

Does the 'red' highlight say 'Inverness-shire' as I know the US had a mone-laying base there?

Any  ideas on the significance of the 'yellow' highlights would be great.

Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
Am seeking help with reading the Naval Service record of my great-uncle....particularly the first three or four lines.
The ships he served on are fairly self explanatory but the start of the record is beyond me....
all help / opinions welcome.

Hi all,

Much to my surprise have discovered my g.grandfather signed up to the RNR in 1899....we assume this was a way of supplementing his meagre wages as a foundry labourer.

What were the rates of pay for members of RNR at this time?

How many days each year would he have spent training with RNR?

Thanks.
