Remembered Today:

On which ship did he serve?

Hi

I was wondering if anybody could tell me on which ship Thomas Prentice served during WWI, his service number was SS5154. He could have served at the battle of Jutland, but that's still unclear at the moment.

For what I know he was born 15 January 1895, and came from Norwich.

Cheers!

Thomas Prentice served on HMS Superb during the Battle of Jutland

His service paper can be found on FMP

You may be able to view it from your local library if you are not a subscriber

Ok Saxon

I think served on board or aboard HMS Superb during the Battle of Jutland is acceptable

Sorry, but no sailor would say anything other than "I served in HMS xxx." I recently heard the Duke of Edinburgh take someone to task (on TV, I mean, not in person!) for talking about serving "on" a ship. He pointed out that you live in a house, not on it, and that a ship is no different.
