penfold Posted 10 August , 2014 Share Posted 10 August , 2014 I have set up a HMS Defence 'Community' at https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/community/381 and am starting to incorporate the names from the casualty list. If anyone has photographs of crew members or other particulars they can either send them to me or incorporate themselves into the appropriate 'Life Stories'.

HeatherC Posted 11 August , 2014 Share Posted 11 August , 2014 We have one man from this ship on the Chalford War Memorial (Frederick John Newman) so I will add some details about him later (no photo yet unfortunately). Nice idea - I wish more people would set up communities like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
