Hi Rowdy

Can you let us see an image of the source?  Could it be Corporal?

Ok Rowdy, I may learn something here,

Ship and Corporal - do they actually go together? - Was he army being carried somewhere.  It's not a navy rank is it  ???

As it was a Royal Navy vessel, he could have been a Corporal in the Royal Marines.
