Thanks Hugh

So the record says:

Kia Ora 18.12.18
124461 5.4.19
140585 3.9.19
140607 3.12.19
132757 26.2.20

So that's 5 different ships then, rather than five different trips on the same ship, which is how I interpreted it?

Back down the rabbit hole!
Nottinghamshire: Billyard; Fletcher
Lincolnshire: Beck; Smith
Leicestershire: Goadby; Iliffe;
Warwickshire: Bradbury; Friswell; Gilliver; Beesley

The cards from the Fourth Register of Seamen in which the CR 10 is one are also known to have omissions so it may not be 100% accurate and there may or may not have been other voyages before he left the service. The dates to the right of the number indicate his date of engagement on each of the ships.

KIA ORA – 18.12.1918
ARAWA – 5.4.1919
PRINCESA – 3.9.1919
KUMARA – 3.12.1919
HORORATA – 26.2.1920

Thanks again.  I appreciate your help.

I'm using the CLIP site, which is clumsy, but which seems to have a lot of information.
