Great Dane Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Could "FYRB" be short for "fyrbøter" (= stoker) ? /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sounds plausible and perhaps explains why the country is on it as well, if he was a merchant seaman or naval rating who might be wearing it in circumstances where his nationality was not otherwise evident. The Royal Navy historically threw a very wide loop when it came tio recruiting, as I suspect most navies and civilian fleets did: qualifications as a sailor trumped nationality every time.
