Lt. Cdr. Spicer - Simpson

[Alan Peacock]

I am not sure if this query is in the correct section however

here we go.

I am looking for any photos of Lt. Cdr. Spicer Simpson

who commanded the Naval Central African Expedition

in 1915. I have some photos in books etc. but would

appreciate any other photos.

Also I read that Spicer Simpson designed his own style

uniform for his men to wear, khaki with blue markings and

naval insignia, anyone any info. on this?

Alan.

I have some pictures from the expedition that one of the other posters sent to me, I can't recall if there was any of Spicer Simpson, but I'll check tomorrow when I get home(night shift ). If there is I'll gladly email them to you( will pm you first)

Spike 10764,

Thanks for your reply, I checked out the info. you suggested and

already found a photo I did not have.

The book I have on the expedition is titled 'The Phantom Flotilla'

by Peter Shankland printed in the 1960's.

I also have a photo of Spicer Simpson in his 'skirt' after the capture

the German ship 'Kingani' which I found on a website. I will send you

the name of the website as soon as I find it.
