Sellsby William Long was born to Henry and Emily in 1889 in Windsor, Berkshire.
He enlisted into the RNVR in mid 1916 and served as a telegraphist. His civilian trade is noted as an accountant and we see in 1911, he worked for a tobacco firm in Stourbridge. He served until May 1919.
In 1921, we see an entry in the London Gazette for him showing his employment as a Ministry of Labour clerk.
Sellsby died in Downend, Gloucestershire in 1960. His address at that time is noted as 23 Stanbridge Road, Downend.
