Naval Records help please THS Hitchin
« on: Thursday 01 November 12 21:05 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am hoping someone can help me find out a bit more about  Thomas Harry Stanley Hitchin born 1902.
I have his medal roll details for Long Service and Good Conduct which give his number as M39835 and rank as RPO (think this is military police?).

I would appreciate any insight or pointers as to where to find out when he joined up and about his service. I have tried the national archives online with no luck - but then I never seem to find much on there as it is a bit confusing for me!

Many thanks
Midmum :)
