Richard Matlock Posted 22 August , 2013 Author Share Posted 22 August , 2013 Downloaded the service record, lots of ships that i will be asking questions about, other than the trio was he entitled to anything else ? possibly pre war ?

Richard Matlock Posted 24 August , 2013 Author Share Posted 24 August , 2013 Ok, I have looked through the one page of service record, seems to have served on a number of ships but spent the entire Great war on HMS Agincourt, I think it was at Jutland, so would i be able to get anything from this ? I appreciate that it had a massive crew Thanks again all Rich M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
