Come across this family photo recently. It's of Frederick Gascoigne, born 16.03.1912 probably from the Kippax/Castleford area. I'm pretty clueless with anything regarding the Navy, so any pointers with regard to the uniform/ badges etc would be appreciated.
Good conduct stripe on other arm. Ranks, Badges and Pay in the Royal Navy in World War 2 For interest... https://www.gunthwaite.co.uk/Painting_Guides.html
Able Seaman qualified Gunlayer. On left arm is a Good Conduct Badge for 3 years Service next badge would be due after 8 years. Standard WW2 'HMS' cap tally. Tim
Not sure what’s on his breast Looks like a pin on ribbon bar but the ribbons should have been seen on further up regards james
Not sure either. There's a medal ribbon on his uniform but I can't make it out. As to the bar I came to the conclusion it is possibly a name tally. Unusual but he might have been on a course or something where name tallies were required. Tim
