OUR MESSAGE FORM MESSAGES HMS
STAUNCH ARCHIBALD GILLIES... Yesterday I
came across a silver medal awarded to Runners Up of a Football League on
HMS Staunch - date on medal 1915. This must have belonged to my
grandfather, Archibald Gillies, who was in the Navy in the First World
War. The medal inscription reads: 2nd Flotilla; Football
League; 1915; Runners Up; HMS Staunch. My father, son of
Archibald Gillies, died on 2nd May this year - so I can't ask
questions. Archibald Gillies died the same day as Elvis Presley in
August 1977. I do have a photograph of my grandfather as a young man
in his naval uniform. Just wondered if there is any way the names of
the crew members can be sourced - obviously my grandfather was either not
on board when said ship was torpedoed in 1917 - or was he a
survivor?? As my grandfather lived abroad or in England after I was
born, I was never in his company long enough to hear of his naval exploits
- or maybe he just didn't talk about them! Contact
Here HMS RIFLEMAN WILLIAM KENNEDY.. I am trying to find out information about
HMS Rifleman and in particular a stoker named William Kennedy. I would
appreciate any information about him, his life on ship, battles or
photographs. If you can help contact at jancestry@tiscali.co.uk
