For officers, 143 states ‘An Officer whose conduct in the Mercantile Marine is unsatisfactory may be removed from the List at the discretion of the Admiralty.’ "

1942 Oct. Squadron Leader in WW2. He gave evidence at the inquest of a Major Skinner who fell to his death from a hotel in London on his wedding night. Sanders had known Skinner since Skinner was 5 years old, and had dined with Skinner the night of the fall. Skinners mother had come down from Scotland, and she lived in Montrose. It is difficult to work out what was going on - Skinner was born in 1912, so Sanders had known Skinner since 1917, when Sanders was 28. I suspect Sanders was living with the family in Montrose. Major Skinner's father died in 1949 and it is clear that he was living with his wife- she is not mentioned in his obit. Major Skinner's mother died in Montrose in 1970. They appear to have separated before 1921 - as they are not living together in 1921 census
1967 Apr 20 Died Montrose, Scotland aged 78
