Interesting. Thanks for posting it. So in the merchant navy did the seaman keep posession of that or was it given back to him when he left the ship for a new one? In the US Navy we turned over our records to whatever command we went to and they kept them.Some of my files are a bit big to post, but this should do. It's inner pages from the record of Samuel Ackerley, one of the cooking crew.
