Canteen Staff were civilians that served on Royal Navy ships but were employed primarily by William Miller, Ltd., or Messrs. Richard Dickeson and Company. The whereabouts of the records of these companies are unknown so it is not possible to identify whether these employees were at the Battle of Jutland unless details are received from a relative or the employee was killed at the battle. The details provided with a 'Yellow Code', are taken from The National Archives File 'ADM 177/133 Pages 500-565 Canteen Staff' (Medal Allocation)
