Hi

I am trying to find out any information about my great grandfathers time in the royal naval reserves, his name was Thomas Hetherington and I believe his service number was 1699/DA. He was born in 1877, his birth was registered in Bradford west yorkshire.

Any information provided will be much appreciated

Many Thanks

Chris Ho :)
