Unless there was an earlier Repulse I would suggest that the date is too early. HMS Repulse was lauched in 1916 and served in both world wars and ended up being sunk together with HMS Prince of Wales by the Japanese off Singapore. My grandfather served on here for about 12 months in 1924/5.

Yes I agree - the date 1900 was entered as the true date is unknown. I'm happy to change it to 1924 pending any other information.
