Captain landing from Galatea.
Card has names on reverse : Capt P Wilkins (possibly
Tomkins?), Com C Peel, 1st Lieut G R L Edwards. The liferings
say Galatea, Liverpool. Looking for confirmation that we have the
correct identification here. There was a tender at Liverpool of that
name, at around this time, but there is weaponry on the ship shown here.
