The official RNLI records of serving boat officers go back to 1898, but these records are sadly incomplete. Centralised recording the names of volunteer crew members, other than in local files, only goes back into the late 1960’s or early 70’s. The information, records and files available in Guernsey are also incomplete, but go back to 1865. A search through copies of Returns of Service books and minutes of committee meetings, have revealed the following names of persons who have manned the Guernsey lifeboat, and their dates of service or involvement, correct to December 2011. It is possible that some names are duplicates. The carbon copies of Service Returns are now deteriorating, some are unreadable, as is the handwriting of some of the reporters, which has certainly not improved over the years.
