Category:Gunnery Officers (UK)

All officers of the Royal Navy qualified as Gunnery Lieutenant should be in this category. They are properly placed here by having a {{CatGunneryOfficer|UK}} at the bottom of their page.

NOTE:  Do not add text to this page if the Gunnery Officer in question has a page for himself. 
If he does, add {{CatGunneryOfficer|UK}} to the bottom of his page

When a gunnery officer of whom we know so little that he does not yet have a page, we can and should record his particulars here in brief as a holding place for this data.
