George probably joined up in Warrington although his military record archive names Accrington , the information on enlistment may have asked for place of birth . However the fact that he was born in Accrington may still qualify him for a place in your history record

With regard to the ships on which George served my information is that he served on HMS Penstemon , an Arabis class sloop , often used for minesweeping . ( I have found pictures on the Net ) I believe Victory , sometimes referred to as Victory 11 was a training
establishment , I will follow up on your information re his last ship . Discovery .

I am most grateful to both of you for your follow up to my posting .
