Hi John
It is a bit unclear if the two RCNVR men lost in HOLYSTONE were just passengers as mentioned by Lloyds or were actually part of the crew, even if only temporary for their passage to Canada. I found them both mentioned in the "Register of Deceased Seamen" although as "Supernumerary" and not as "Deck Hand" like the other DEMS gunners. However, this indicates that they were part of the crew because MN seamen listed in this register as supernumerary worked during their passage while others listed as DBS were just passengers.
The two RCNVR men were certainly not part of the regular crew, but apparently signed up as crew members for the voyage that proved to be their last.
Best regards
