John Stuart Munro, R.N., (21 December, 1880 – ) was a sailor in the Royal Navy. He should not be confused with another man, a shipwright, of the same name, born in London on 8 February, 1870.
Life & Career
Born in Aberlour, Banffshire, Munro started his career at the rank of Boy, Second Class on 31 August, 1901, having previously been a gardener. He had dark brown hair, light blue eyes, a dark complexion and a slight scar "on" his left eye.[1]
We document him here, primarily, as we have been entrusted with a personal logbook he maintained while aboard the sloop Odin on her first commission on the Cape of Good Hope and West Africa Station, 1903-1904. He was appointed to the ship on 16 January, 1903 until 9 November 1904.[2]
Munro may have left the navy in 1910, having been "not recommended for re-engt" after a recent two and a half year appointment to the armoured cruiser Natal.[3]
