On Royal Navy seaman record does DD mean discharge or death?
« on: Thursday 16 February 17 11:00 GMT (UK) »
On a record for Royal Navy it reads "DD at sick quarters Trincomalee from enteritis and disease of heart"

This was in 1902.

Many thanks if anyone knows.

You should find the formal listing of his death in the appropriate register in the ADM 104 series at Kew, free to download http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C1813

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Exactly right. One Admiralty Clerk I have researched has exactly two words in his first annual review in 1913: "Promising. Active." The next entry is DD: he was serving in HMS Monmouth when she was sunk with all hands in the Battle of Coronel.
