Ex Navy man 1939

[Top-of-the-hill]

   I am trying to pin down a man born 1902, at sea with the Royal Navy 1921 and missing from the 1939 register. Would he have been called up at his age?

Conscription was between ages 18 & 41

  Thanks, that is probably the explanation.

Given his previous naval background he may have volunteered

Going by his age and possible enlistment year, good chance he was still serving as a regular in the Navy and posted in one of the fleets overseas.
