Hi Sandra

The Public Records Office publish a range of excellent on-line leaflets
on how to find servicemen's records, amongst many others: the one you
are looking for should be: Royal Navy: Officers' Service Records:
Military Records Information Leaflet No 30 which you can see at:

http://www.pro.gov.uk/leaflets/ri2030.htm

The Mariners List: subscribe address



Also has a URL which you might find useful at:
