I'd be quite curious to see the Museum list Kath. Does it list the Company and Crew for all the members? It's something I have been trying to work out for myself from the scant references and shooting competition results and have only managed to determine about a third of them.
Thanks for the scans Ed. Interesting to see that Prince of Wales gun - I assume it's one of the ones Sir Reginald Bacon installed as head of Dover Patrol. He noted how poor the harbour defences were on his arrival and beefed them up as a priority. Interestingly the searchlight crews were all Admiralty RNVR but the attached guns were Royal Garrison Artillery, i.e. army. The AA defence of the port was split over three organisations in the early days, i.e. RN, RNVR and Army.
