Able Sea. Richard Hendy Butcher
Royal Navy HMS Newcastle

My grandfather was the youngest able seaman on the HMS Newcastle. Being the youngest, he presented a chunk of coal from Newcastle, England to the Mayor(I think it was) of Newcastle, Australia. He had distinct memories of being kept awake at night in the Straits of Malacca because of the fear of being torpedoed.
