Hi Youngtug  Thanks for replying so quick, I got the date wrong, I thought he served until 1928, he actually did serve longer than that. I couldn't believe it when I stumbled on the photo, it came as a great surprise I now want to show other members of my family. However uncle Sam was born in Stranraer Wigtown Scotland in Jan 1902 and joined the navy around about 1920/21 I think,  if its of any use to you his number was J93740 Samuel Lincoln you might be able to research I do also have another photo of him when he had just joined but on a different ship he also sevred on a ship called Impregnable but seem then to spend a lot of time on the training ship Vivid 1 again if you are interested you can have a copy with pleasure hope this info helps you with any research if you are doing any on your uncle John take care. Craig

A training base as far as I can see. I have looked before because my grandfathers brother was there. He was not a signaller. He went from there to a seagoing vessel. Is there no indication of when the photo was taken, the clothing certainly seems to be early, but you can see  the similarities of dress in this photo, taken in the 1930s [the person on the left in the photo was born 1909]
Hi Regarding the Photo of the two young men John and someone else I think the person on the left is my great uncle Samuel Lincoln I have another photo of him and both photos look like the same person Samuel served until around 1928 on the ship HMS Vivid Hope this helps thanks
