Hello,

Does anyone have any information on the H.M.S. Zoraide..

Absolutely any information will be useful.

I have a picture which my mother gave me, but I have nothing more. I'll try and scan and post a picture later.

Thanks

Hello Mandy

The officer information comes from contemporary NAVY LISTs.

Casualty/death information is taken from my dbase, taken from CWG and collated from primarily ADM 242 and other Admiralty sources. This does pick up a number of names and causes of death not available through CWG.
