Post by: debz40 on Tuesday 11 September 12 19:44 BST (UK)

Can anyone help me.. My great Uncles father Robinson Walker marries in 1915 and on the marriage certificate it gives as his rank and profession as - on active service R.N.S.B.R... and residence as R.N. Barracks Chatham... Can anyone tell me what the abreviation R.N.S.B.R stands for..
          Thank you

If he came from Yeadon Leeds he was a Sick Berth Attendant (medic) and I think it will be Royal Navy Sick Berth??? It may be an A  for attendant?

His record is downloadable on Docs Online Number M9096  and his Medal Index Card ADM 171 is on Ancestry
