There are two naval schools, one in Dunbar and the other now in Holbrook, East Anglia but previously The Royal Hospital School at Greenwich. If he came from Portsmouth, this is the more likely. |

As he was born 1915, his records might/ are probably still with the MOD. |

This a wall I have been trying to climb for many a long year. Am trying to find Sid's naval records. There is a family feeling that he may have attended a Naval School prior to enlisting in RN. |
