Boy Sea. Harry Green
Royal Navy HMS P54
from:Cardiff
Harry Green was born 1902 in Cardiff and became a boy seaman in about 1915. Early photos show him with a 'Naval Brigade' cap band.
The photo of Nov.-Dec. 1917 with his 18-year-old brother in Manchester Regiment uniform, shows Harry in Navy rig with cap band for HMS P54, an inshore sloop.
In October 1919, Harry transferred to the merchant navy as a steward's assistant on the 'Great City', a Reardon Smith tramp steamer under Admiralty commission. It is believed to have supplied the Allied Army of Intervention in the Russian Civil War (Murmansk and Archangel) up to March 1919.
