    Default New member saying hello!

    Hi and good evening...

    I have just joined the forum. I am a 58 year old land lubber whose grandfather served on board HMS Canada during WW1, took part in the Zeebrugge Raid in 1918, left the Royal Navy No: J37155 in early 1919 and then joined the Merchant Navy No: 997482, taking part in the Archangel River Expedition on board HMS Lobster between May and December 1919.

    I have a few details of his Royal Navy deeds, but very little on his time in the Merchant Navy.. so if anyone can help with any info, I would be grateful

    Thank you for the Question and the info, have you yet tried to Contact the Southampton Maritime Archives, where the Originals may be found? His CR10 Documents.
    Might be an idea ?
    Cheers

    As i see you do have his Discharge Book from the Merchant Navy, would that then not hold enough info ,or is there something Specific you may be after?
    Cheers
