![]() Arthur Stone as a Petty Officer. His rate (rank) and his badges attest to his rapid progress in the service. The crossed anchors denote his Petty Officer status, the crossed gun barrels on his right sleeve testify to his qualification in the gunnery specialisation, and the diver's helmet on his right sleeve shows that he was also qualified as a ship's diver. He wears one Good Conduct Badge on his left upper arm which shows that he had completed three years' 'man's time' but less than eight years. |
