This
man could possibly be Walter J or J Walter Long. There is a Walter Long who features in Chailey
Parish Magazine from November 1914 to September 1915 inclusive. He then disappears and J Long appears from
October 1915. I have been unable
however, to find a convincing naval service record match for either J Long,
Walter Long or any combination of J Walter / Walter J Long.
Commemorating and remembering the lives of the men and women of Chailey, Sussex during the Great War 1914-1918 and remembering too the sick and wounded soldiers nursed by Sussex 54 VAD. This is their story.

Leading Stoker J Long, Royal Navy
Chailey
Parish Magazine first notes J Long in October 1915, recording him as a Leading
Stoker serving aboard HMS Glory. In
January 1918 the magazine notes that he is at Royal Navy Barracks and this
information is then repeated up to and including the final published roll in
July 1919.
