    Thanks.

    I had heard of KM sailors with tattoos but had never seen a photo of one. Same with Heer soldiers.

    I coloured the photo to show approximately what it may have looked like.

    Cheers,

    Larry

    Hello readers.

    My guess and it is only a guess is that this K.M. sailor was transferred or drafted from the Merchant Marine into the navy.

    As a merchant mariner he was of course at liberty to have tattoos applied.

    I would doubt the K.M. rejecting him from service because of tattoos.

    I agree, most likely ex- Merchant Marine.
