William Arthur Nightingale was born in England on 19 October 1880. He enlisted in the Navy in 1905 and received a warrant appointment as Carpenter in October 1914. During 1918-1920 he was temporarily commissioned, reaching the rank of Lieutenant before reverting to warrant status as a Chief Carpenter in about 1920. During 1918-1919 he served on board the transport Mercury (ID # 3012), and all photographs we have of his date from that time. Chief Carpenter Nightingale retired, with the rank of Lieutenant, in July 1939, though he appears to have been recalled to active duty during World War II. He was still carried on the retired register in 1960.
