Looking for the correct title for L Ck M. Would this be Lock Mate and if it is, what does in mean? I have never come across this title in my Royal Navy research, can anyone help please.
Think it's Leading Cook, but not sure about the M. According to a website I found , L Ck S cooked for the seamen, L CK O cooked for the officers (maybe he still does!). Presumably the officers get their prawns peeled and the seamen don't.
Hope this helps.

PS Just had a thought, could the M stand for "Marines"?

Very funny, TDP (Applause), although there hasn't been a sub branch for officers' cooks for many years now - very high standards all round!(Thumb)
Thanks fellows. This is a title I came across in a list of issued medals after WW1. You are all probably right and it means Leading Cook Mate as M is diffently after L cK. Then again he could have cooked for marines on board a Royal Naval vessel. Thanks heaps you have all come through for me again. I just love researching WW1 naval history. cheers
All,
Another one long gone who or what was the 'Boatswain of the Yard' and what was so special about his Badge of Rank.
Please bear in mind I last saw one in 1969 so what with memory fade etc ---?!
Yours aye,
slick
