Pembroke II (?)	Stoker 1st Class	30 Jan 1923	25 May 1923	The ship in brackets is unreadable. Pembroke II would be the depot ship and the ship in brackets the tender and the actual ship he was on Admin note: to me (Stephen Clifford) the name in brackets seems to be Pembroke. Pembroke II was an RNAS Air Station 1913-18, while Pembroke was the Chatham Barracks nearby, so maybe the other way round.
