Muerrisch Posted 16 March , 2005 Share Posted 16 March , 2005 2RWF went up the R Irrawaddy on RIMS Irrawddy in 1907 [Regimental Records]. Frank Richards says "paddle ship" without naming her. NMM have supplied photo and some details of RIMS Irrawaddy, launched 1903, clearly not a paddle ship, and looks huge for river traffic. NMM trace history to about 1920. Problem. Janes 1418 has RIMS Irrawaddy as a little paddle wheeler, 338 tons, much more likely. No photo. I find it difficult to believe Royal Indian Mail Service had two Irrawaddys, so what goes on here? Please help, this is for new edition of Old Soldier Sahib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
