The sailors headstone lies flat. Note the date though....1919. Royal Naval action in 1919? Against who, and why? I'm surprised you did'nt pick up on that.
The headstone tells us that he was in the navy and that he died in 1919 aged 26, but does it necessarily tell us that he was killed in during some kind of Royal Naval Action? He may well have died in service from something which happened aboard ship. Or he may even have died of wounds received earlier. Possible?
