World War Two / Query about first posting - British Navy
« on: Saturday 28 September 19 20:42 BST (UK)  »
My dad joined the British Navy, in May 1943. On his service records, the first entry is hard to read, but the first word is Royal, and then Batt (or maybe Batl) and possible 'u' and 'a' at the end? He is listed as Prov. Mech Group III.  I am wondering if this is an enlistment centre, or initial training camp. He was there for just over 11 days before moving to signal school. He enlisted in Portsmouth, so I wonder if it is  something to do with the Royal Naval College?

World War Two / Re: Query ~ HMS Victory WW2

My father's service record has Victory listed as his second last posting, from April to June 1946. Am I right in assuming that this was a shore establishment, not a ship? If so, where was it located? He had come from a shore establishment (St Angelo) in Malta. Thanks
