Not a lot to go on at the moment. I tired the basic search on http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/default.asp This is not the most reliable of search engines, and charges for looking at anything in detailthey have found although such material is also usually in the public domain and is sometimes inaccurate. they have only 3x CARD in WW2: Peter Stanford Card Civilian War Dead 1942 Percy George Card Leading Seaman Royal Navy 1944 (this might or might not include Indian Royal Navy) Percy George Card Leading Signalman HMS Albatross 1944 (same as above) HMS Albatross was built 1928 for the Royal Australian Navy and transferred to the Royal Navy in 1939. She was a seaplane carrier. Deployed in Indian Ocean from June 1942 to Oct 1943 No mention of the I.R.N. Carl Bloud / Blood does not appear on this site but there is no guarantee that the site includes Royal Indian Navy personnel. I am still trying to find some Lists free online but so far without success for WW2. There is the www.navylistresearch.co.uk <http://www.navylistresearch.co.uk/> site which does have RN Lists up to and including WW2+. This charges an annual subscription of £10 and all Lists are fully searchable. Note that only officers and Warrant Officers will be named individually, although looking through my 1918 Navy List educators are also included. If there are any surviving relatives, you may be able to find their service records here: http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/service_records.html The Royal Naval Museum also has copies of Navy Lists: www.royalnavalmuseum.org <http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/> look for their info sheet on naval genealogical sources.

When I was doing my searches I also looked for a Carl Alfred Bloud. CAB was a teacher of English Language and English Literature at Victoria School, Kurseong, West Bengal from 1936 until long after I left VS in 1953. He was known to have served in the RIN as an officer during WWII. Old boys and myself would be much obliged if you can turn him up as well. CAB was that unusual teacher who was well loved by all students, past and present.
