  • Notes 
    • Richard Furmidge joined the Royal Navy in November 1895 and served until May 1919. He served on the Royal Yacht (‘Victoria & Albert’) between July 1903 and Aug 1914. He was serving on HMS Agincourt during the Battle of Jutland (09 Mar 1916 to 07 Sep 1916). He completed his Royal Navy career as a Stoker Petty Officer II (The National Archives: ADM 188 / 449 / 281150). He probably died on 21 January 1960 due to complications following a fall (newspaper inquest report, unknown publication and date, transcript posted as a Private Member Story on www.ancestry.co.uk).
