Name of ship . .  or shipping line maybe??  It does look like a service type unifurm doesn't it - Hotel or ship steward or something like that.

What it definitely isn't is Red Cross.

There are only two matches in 1939 one is a Carman & Hand Lorry in Essex the other is a General Labourer in Lewisham...I wonder if the "C" stands for Council

he was a labourer and ex-policeman so I wouldn't rule out any number of jobs.

He'd also been a ship's steward. FindMyPast has his merchant navy ID, with photo, from 1920.

Ah, that would be a breakthrough - I can see a George Crowe and Craw, but in 1921 and just the stamped card, no photo - am I looking in the wrong place?

The Lewisham one would be him, in Cheseman Street I suspect. Yes, I must get round to running through the 1939 register :)

Thanks!

Can we try to decipher what the embossed stamp in the top right corner could be?     It could be an official ID card?
