Henry Thomas Lane was born on 4 November 1873 at Portsmouth, Hampshire. Enlisting in the Royal Navy on 3 October 1893, he served aboard a variety of ships and shore bases including Vulcan, Terrible, Duke of Wellington and Jupiter. His record of service appears somewhat chequered, including three spells in the cells and absent without leave whilst aboard Terrible at Portsmouth on 4 July 1898. Discharged time-expired on 21 December 1905, he appears to have later worked as a shoeing and general smith and lived at No. 2 Verona, South Street, Hythe, Southampton. He saw further service during the Great War with the Merchant Navy; sold with copied service record and medal roll.
