Hi,

Looks like Halifax to me.

Not exactly a seaport, though...

Let's see what the experts say.  :)

Best regards,
Karen

Halifax in Nova Scotia is a Sea Port. It is likely that it refers to that one.

It says he run, which means he deserted, so most likely to be Halifax in Nova scotia.

The Sirius was there for a visit of the Duke of Connaught in August. Perhaps still there in November?

Not certain how I thank everyone by name for their replies but thank you for your time.  It does make sense that it is Halifax, Nova Scotia as two years later in September 1914 he joined the Canadian Army at the start of WW1 under the name of Richard Smith.  He only changed his army records in 1915 to his true name on marrying in England.
