The italian friend who found this name, Matteo D Angella, sent me this. It is a research on a british sailor

No trace of any vessel with that name in the RN....

Hi everyone, I'm new here.

Do you know if there was a steamboat called 'Carventan' in the English fleet in 1917? It seems that was in Italy during WW1.

Many thanks!

This is just what I wanted to know, thanks so much.  So, what’s the badge on his cap? 

The man seated is wearing what was known then as 'Class III' uniform - this was worn by Stewards / Cooks / Writers / Artificers. 

Afternoon.
This photo shows my paternal grandfather on the right of this photo.  His cap badge is HMS Kestrel.  He joined the Navy in 1911 at Chatham.  I don’t know who the other two men are, but wondered about the uniform of the man seated.  If anyone would share some knowledge, I would be most grateful.  Thanks!  (I have colourised the photo with an app).

I have seen photos of groups of people during WW2 at various buildings in Melton Mowbray and they are described as Royal Navy Stores Departments.  Does anyone know where I can getr more info on thse locations in Melotn Mowbray?
TIA

Sorry, sent it before complete. I was thrown by the smaller gaps on the P&V ledger compared to this document which was given to me by his daughter.
