Anyway, I'll not stick too many of those up as this the 'Lamb' thread. On the subject of which findmypast has just launched a database of Royal Navy Ratings and Officers service papers. [Much to my irritation as I'd just purchased a pile of papers from the NA] Anyway, the database shows the Navy Lamb served during WW1 on HMS Indus, Roxburgh and Tiger. He remains in the navy post 1929 when his service record transfers to a new series (not online or released) so he was a long service guy.
He initially enlisted as a Boy Artificer in 1912, straight from school. 5'1", dark brown hair, blue eyes, fresh complexion. Navy grub got him to 5'7" by 1926!
