Company Conduct Sheet questions
« on: Thursday 11 September 25 15:10 BST (UK) »
I'm looking at my grandfather's Royal Marine records from WW1 when he was aboard the HMS Duke of Edinburgh. His Company Conduct Sheets were with the exception of the one attached more or less blank however this one had 3 offences listed. I'm struggling to read the word before hammock - 'Did not obey pipe to xxxx hammock'. I'm interested too to know what 3 days of No 10 meant. 

His next offence for being drunk cost him 30 days without grog - I can't work out if it also means a day's pay was forfeited.

Any advice much appreciated. The attestation packs for marines in this era contain the company conduct sheets but this was the first generation that I have encountered them. My great grandfather's records did not contain them so I wondered when these records were introduced?

Thank you!

Looks like "the pipe to scrub hammocks"

Thank you for these answers. I must admit I struggled to read scrub! Not the best of tasks...

Interesting reading about the punishments. Thanks.
