Hi Marcel, do you have any more information ? Those dates and ranks, did they come from a service record ? Any documents you can attach ?

Hi Marcel, are you able to upload photos of his smock and beret. They might provide some clues. eg cap badge or type of smock.
This looks like a link to Claude, Lt RNVR
Claude Harold, CBE, died peacefully at home on 28th September 2009, aged 87 years. (Lt RNVR and formerly British Council Representative).
