I have the right pre war details, but am unsure about his war service. This man with MIC was commissioned Nov 1914 in RAOC as a Lt, and I doubt that a RN Petty Officer would have got that rapid Promotion. However the 1939 Register man is a Retired Major with just about the right DOB. So it is pointing to the same man
