Ernest Mais, who was born in Clifton in 1864, is confirmed on the published roll as having served as Chief Officer of the S.S. Harlech Castle, a vessel of the Union Castle Steamship Company; so, too, on Board of Trade records for having received the British War and Mercantile Marine War Medals, these latter being sent to him at a address in Soton in 1923.
