Dear list, I wonder if I could call upon your expertise? I have a CPO Alfred Bassett who died of a perforated gastric ulcer on board a hospital ship at Mudros on 22nd October 1916. His service record raises a few questions with me. For the few years before his death he is listed as serving on: Blenheim Vernon Drake Good Hope Blenheim (Savage) Victory II Blenheim (Savage) Pembroke II (Savage) Blenheim (Savage) I think that some of these (Vernon, Drake) are shore-establishments. Is this correct? I'm puzzled by the (Savage) appended to Blenheim and Pembroke II. Can anyone explain this? Many thanks, Derrick Parsons
