It's not de rigueur to have just one name on a Warrant. That sort of behaviour is more prevalent in the Corps. Laughing

You stick up for yourself Shelldrake. I have two Christian names as well. Comes in quite useful when you 1st name is used by somebody else, then they can use your second name.

Mike, like the RAOC moto, so here it is :

The RAOC's motto was Sua tela tonanti (literally "His [i.e. Jupiter's] Missiles to the one who is Thundering", but commonly translated as "To the Warrior his Arms")

Found a bit more on Barnes Wallis

In April 1913 as chief assistant to H B Pratt of Vickers, Wallis turned his mind from the restless sea to the almost unconquered mysteries of the air. He designed Britain's second rigid airship, the R.9, for the Navy.

BNW: "Churchill stopped the building of the R.9 at the beginning of the war because everybody thought the war would be over in three or four months. Pratt and I rushed off and enlisted in the Royal Regiment of Artillery.

They served for nine months.

This is from his memorial trust....

Yep there is an RA connection

Thank you Gordon for your painstaking research, I knew I was correct!

No wonder you didn`t get your LS&GC..
