Analysis RNR Service Record
« on: Sunday 23 April 23 09:33 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Could I have some help (mainly deciphering the handwriting  ;D) on analysis my great uncle's RNR service record please?

Here is TNA link. https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D8512726

Thank you in advance

Ryan  :)

Welcome to RootsChat :)

Unfortunately that link goes to the index listing of the document you mention, not to the document itself. Anyone wishing to look at the handwriting would have to pay £3.50 to download it.

What you need to do is extract from the original documents the bits you can't read, and then post them as (an) attachment(s) either here or on the Handwriting and Deciphering Forum https://www.rootschat.com/forum/handwriting-deciphering-recognition/ (but don't cross-post on both please).
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
