Hi

Not sure about WMS Lundy but HMS Lundy was a minesweeping trawler and so may well have been based in Dover. If that is what the record says then I would think that your person was a sailor assigned to this ship. STO is the RN abbreviation for stoker, the X874706 would be the service number. Sorry but don't know what the N/PSK means.

It will be hard for people to help you further as you do not give either his name nor a date.
