Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 11 July , 2018 Share Posted 11 July , 2018 Dear All, I have the 15 Trio to Albert Pepperell (S. Lt., RNR on Star; Lt., RNVR on BWM and Victory), who spent his War aboard HMY Marynthea. Earlier in the War, a Rating died during Irish Sea operations. The only other fatality occured when "Marynthea" shifted to the Mediterranean Theatre, and the Paymaster died. He (whose name I cannot recall, but is on an earlier thread) was buried at Gibraltar. His headstone would round off the saga of a wartime yacht, rented by the Admiralty. Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 12 July , 2018 Share Posted 12 July , 2018 Dear Bob, The HMY Marynthea officer who died during the Great War (1917?) and was buried at Gibraltar, was Paymaster, RNR, Joseph J. Pearce. A photo of his headstone would add much interest to my Lt Pepperell, RNVR saga. Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim I have photographed all (I think) of the WW1 headstones in North Front cemetery, as well as private memorials, and do not have your man. I could have missed it, but checking the CWGC records he is not listed. Died I think 7 May 1917. TR Edited 12 July , 2018 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 12 July , 2018 Share Posted 12 July , 2018 Dear All, and Terry, The 7 May 1917 date seems right. My original manuscript is currently lost, thanks to a computer failure, but the hard-drive may yet be rescued. Therefore, I was going on a 1916 Navy List entry for the name of the wretched Paymaster J. J. Pearce, who died of illness. From what you say, his headstone has not survived either, which is a great shame, but cannot be helped. Many thanks for going to the not inconsiderable trouble of looking. Much appreciated! At least the "Going to War in a Yacht" S. Lt., RNR / Lt., RNVR 15 Trio for A. Pepperell survives! Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 20 July , 2018 Share Posted 20 July , 2018 I'll be in Gibraltar in a couple of weeks, for a couple of hours, and am looking for my g/g grandfather's grave in the North Front cemetery. If possible I will get some photos of other graves, so I'll post details when I am back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
