GAINES L.S.R.F.R. Can someone let me know the meaning of "(PO A 6049)" Is there an easy (ie cheap) way to find his Christian names. Also have his QSA as AB on H.M.S. GIBRALTAR. Thanks Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
per ardua per mare per terram Posted 6 April , 2005 Share Posted 6 April , 2005 (edited) Hi Duncan That’s a nice group. (PO A 6049) was his service number in the Royal Fleet Reserve. His Christian names will be on his Register of Seamen's Services, that can be found in ADM 188/344 at Kew. It is free to view there, just as the MIC are free to view there or at the Family Record Centre.
