Bondi, HMS Verbena ships dog, died 30th January 1931.

HMS Verbena built by Blyth shipbuilders on 9th November 1915 was an Arabis class fleet sweeping sloop.  Complement of 90, speed 16 knts, displacement 1250 tons, armament two 4.7" guns and two 3 pounder AA guns.  Finally scrapped October 1933.

 I am looking for any information about the ships bulldog, his name was Bondi. I am  at present refurbishing his grave, in Knysna,South Africa which has been sadly neglected and any information would be gratefully received for the information board we are erecting. I have a beautiful picture which I have attached. Any information regarding the seaman in the photo or anecdotes about Bondi will be of great interest.

 

Everything we obtain for this site is shown on the site, we do not have any more photos, crew lists or further information on any of the ships.
