Horatio's Story

My wife's Uncle Horatio Watson. I know he was born in Liverpool date unknown. I know he was in France in 1914 because we have his Queen Mary brass tin issued to all troops/seaman at Xmas 1914. We have photos in Navy uniform but have no knowledge of his service records, We assume he was a regular service seaman. Having no direct descendants he died circa 1960 we thought it nice to hold his memory. All his married live he lived in Stretford, Manchester.
