Tony Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hello,Is there a way of finding out which ship or ships a certain Engine Room Artificer served on during the Great War?I'd prefer an online search as I'm an 8 hour (at least) drive, 4 countries and the Channel away from the PRO ThanksTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Uh Tony? What was his, uh NAME? You mean the warrant level type "Artificer" and not a Petty Officer rating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Uh Tony? What was his, uh NAME? You mean the warrant level type "Artificer" and not a Petty Officer rating?Rick,Are you referring to the thread on WO's from last summer? I think a "dunno" is the best you'll get from me, maybe Jim or Nick can answer that. I'm at work at the moment but I think his name was Fain, E.R.A.3., H. Fain.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Yup, because that category is shown in my R.N. "The Naval Who's Who" 1917. I didn't find him, so no citation up to then for WW1 (or earlier--most were retired and often LONG retired--going back to the Crimea!!!), nor among the Jutland dead.

Fains listed:National ArchivesIf you've got the medals you should be able to narrow this one down very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 (edited) Thanks Michael,He's Horace Frank Fain from Godalming. I had a girlfriend who lived there but I can't remember her name I'll splash out the ?3.50 to see what his record says.Tony Edited January 10, 2006 by Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
