Dave_Woods Posted 16 November , 2004 Share Posted 16 November , 2004 Tom I got some info many years ago about my Grandad who served in WW1 on the Highflyer from the archivist at Portsmouth RN establishment. I also seem to remember that the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich once published several leaflets about research and one of them was specifically written about RN Sailors records. It might be worth a look on their website. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDick Posted 16 November , 2004 Share Posted 16 November , 2004 If he was a regular rating, you can get his pre-1928 records at the NA under ADM188. They are easy to find and (virtually?) complete, as opposed to Army records. If you PM I can give you the email of a researcher I use for such tasks. They also hold officers and other naval branch records. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
