corbs28 Posted 11 May , 2005 Share Posted 11 May , 2005 I am looking for information about HM Trawler Tourmaline of the Auxiliary Patrol. I have recently acquired the Distinguished Service Medal of Engineman W. Harris and the DSM was awarded whilst serving onboard the Tourmaline and on the Auxiliary Patrol of 1916. I have found his mention in Feyvers DSM 1914-1920 and have recently purchased the book "The Auxiliary Patrol" by E. Keble Chatterton, but, sadly there was no reference to this Trawler Any guidance, hints etc. gratefully accepted Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
