pgis Posted 9 May , 2019 Share Posted 9 May , 2019 4 hours ago, Dai Bach y Sowldiwr said: Hi Paul, Finding records of naval personnel is a bit of a black art, and a bit of a mystery to us landlubbers. As I understand it , there are about 3 or 4 drifferent naval series of records that can searched, under the ADM prefix (Army records are under WO, ad air force under AIR). There are service records for sailors held at the National Archive and the index can be searched for free: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ I have to tell you though, that searching for 'ADM Peter McHugh' hasn't brought up anything on my searches. Perhaps a proper naval expert can better advise us on where to go next. Thanks for the reply Dai. I think I will have to just keep trying. Paul.
