William Alfred Nocentini, who was born at Valetta, Malta in December 1871, was appointed Bandmaster aboard H.M.S. Endymion in June 1899, and subsequently witnessed active service off China during the Boxer Rebellion. This would appear to have been his only service and he was discharged ashore from Pembroke I in May 1902.
