On Saturday 17 May 1913 Sir George King Hall, Admiral Commanding-in-Chief, presented medals for Volunteer Officers' Decoration and also Long Service and Good Conduct at a ceremony held on a dais under the lee of the figurehead of the century-old Nelson, the first ship of Australia's navy, flanked by a guard of smart young Australians serving under the universal training system. One of the recipients presented with a Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was Able Seaman F.W.Naylor of the NSW Naval Brigade.
