Connected , supplementary query. I have an entry from the London Gazette (well I have quite a few for this man) April 15 1902, page 2503 The undermentioned Second Lieutenants to be Lieutenants Jocelyn F. de F. Shaw, vice J.D.B. Fulton, promoted. Dated 27th January, 1902 I don't know why there are two names and what the 'vice' refers to. Could someone explain? ( I am not about to start Googling for 'vice' at my time of life!) -- Tickettyboo
