I'd be grateful for a look up to shed some light on James Peek (or Peck) who is described as captain RN on my great uncles birth certificate and the ship is given as HMS Minona (though the writing is not clear) He was in scotland from 1915 onwards and appears elsewhere as a master mariner
many thanks

Frederic Suttcliffe EARLE (Born NORTHLEACH, Gloucestershire.):
When World War I broke out Frederic was stationed on HMS Temeraire at Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands north of Scotland. Temeraire, part of the 4th battle squadron of the British Grand Fleet, participated in the battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916.
In 1917, he was transferred to HMS Lightfoot, a destroyer and remained there until 1918.
In 1918 and until his release from the navy in 1920, Frederic served on HMS Velox under Commander Fischer Burges-Watson and traveled to the Baltic Sea north of Russia during the Bolshevik revolution. Before this ship departed, there are records of an attempted mutiny by some 100 men, who dreaded the idea of going into the cold northern sea.
In particular would like names of crew mates, officers of these ships,

The Navy List includes Officers (Active and Reserve) plus some senior warrant ranks. There is no trace of Frederic Suttcliffe Earle, so I guess he didn't fall into this catergory.
HMS Temeraire: Battleship (Dev) 4th Battle Sqdn. Commissioned Aug 1907, Re-commissioned 1913 - 18,600 tons, Crew 733-793, 520ft waterline length, , 21 kts (in trials) 10x12" guns, 16x4" guns.
Captain Edwyn S Alexander-Sinclair
Commander Thomas N James
another 55 officers are mentioned

My gt-grandfather was Lieutenant in Velox in 1917

The NMM at Grenwich have a good photo of Velox

Manchip
Dear Geoffers
My great grandfather served in the Navy during WWI. I don't know if he was an officer or not. His name was Frank Manchip.
If you could search you records I would really appreciate it.
Kind Regards

Geoffers, does the Navy List include Royal Marines? I'm interested in anything to do with my father George William Henry JARVIS. He served for 22/23 years and was in the 1914/18 war, being torpedoed twice. Once I believe on the Aragon and then by the Attack. (May have been the other way round). Survivors were picked up from the first attack, and then that ship was hit. Luckily he survived both.
There are three George Jarvis's listed on `tilbste's' index, so wonder if one of them is he?

Mary Rose
Geoffers hi,
My Great uncle Joe Hepworth was one of the unfortunates sunk with the Mary Rose. Oct 1917. His wife was with him at Scapa Flow so I assume he held 'rank' I would very much appreciate any info that you can dig up either on Joe or the Mary Rose.
Thanks
Dave
