	This gives a list of abbreviations, but not all of them, so do a google search for others: http://www.naval-history.net/xDKCas1005-Abbreviations.htm For the whole of November he is the only one from Radnor showing up on the list of dead, so some other reason, not a direct action? Casualty information in order - Surname, First name, Initial(s), Rank and part of the Service other than RN (RNR, RNVR, RFR etc), Service Number (ratings only, also if Dominion or Indian Navies), (on the books of another ship/shore establishment, O/P – on passage), Fate

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 81 Send Message	Hi, I have the following: GARDEN, Alexander McKay, Chief Engineman, RNR (PS), LT/ 246 EU, Radnor Castle, 18 November 1940, DOW If DOW = Died of wounds, I have been unable to find any reference to the HMS Radnor Castle, a trawler Minesweeper based at Plymouth, being in any 'action'. Can anyone offer help on this and the abbreviations? I know RNR is Royal Navy Reserve, is LT his rank - no idea on PS or EU. THANK you Arthur (Australia)
