These sailors appear to RAN or RN ratings, not USN.

Jeremy Davis Yes they are indeed! Thank you for pointing that out JAD.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice one thanks QM! We're thinking though, if Cazneaux took the photos then that can't be him in the photo, although it might just be from his studio. Based on our experience with Hera Roberts, it looks like Hood may have done more work for the Home. I'd be interested to see what else pops up over time. If only they were digitised! :)
