MESSAGES
HMS MAIDSTONE WILLIAM
EDWARD BERRY.. My father, Willim Berry, served on HMS Maidstone from
1947 to 1951 and would very much like to hear from any of his old crew
mates, particularly his close colleague, George Best. ARTHUR
JAMES JACKMAN.. My Grandfather Arthur James Jackman served as a
torpedoman on both the E6 and the E7 working from the depot ship HMS
Maidstone in Harwich and saw service in the Heligoland Bight in the North
Sea and also I believe the Dardanelles. He went down with the E6 in
December 1915. Any pictures or additional information gratefully
received. |
