Albert Mason was born at Portadown in Northern Ireland in June 1902 and entered the Royal Navy as a Boy Artificer at the training establishment Indus in January 1918. He appears to have been awarded his L.S. & G.C. Medal in June 1935 and was appointed a Warrant Engineer in December 1943, a rank that was afterwards amended to Commissioned Engineer. He still appears on the Retired List in the early 1960s.
