Hi Everyone
I am trying to find out more on the ships that my Joseph Marie Le Gallic was on from his boyhood. It seems so far that the ships he was on were actually used to train/school boys and sailors.
Not sure if that is correct though. Still trying to work out WHEN he left France for ?? and ended up in New Zealand in 1874. The last ship I have him on is the LOUIS XIV from February 1872-then nothing.
Joined the corps on 4 June 1867 as a ship’s
boy from his parents' home.
Voluntary enlistment for 7 years
at Brest City Hall on 19 February 69
as from 19 December 1868This is a list of ships he was on, or the home ports, with dates, as follows:
Inflexible from 4 June 1867 to 20 December 1868
Bretagne from 20 December 68 to 23 March 69
