Named to an Engine Room Artificer White (of Mess 13) aboard HMS Superb,the ID card, issued in 1942, also showsanother named matelot, aBoiler Room ERA Long (of Mess No.9)underneath, so one or both matelots were transferred to the newly commissioned HMS Superbafter service as ship's company elsewhere. (Though why one matelot's name replaced another as a stuck in paper label rather than a new card being issued, is unknown!)
