HMS Dido (1896) - any background during WW1 ?

<< < (2/2)

Boomerang:
Thanks again for the wealth of information !

I am trying to locate a photo I have of my G-Grandfather - in his uniform. I may only have a hardcopy that is not with me in my current location. I recall it having a crossed cannons insignia, and a ships wheel insignia.

Is there a source of the ships logs ? So that I can see where the ships he served on, went and what they did ?

Regards,

Stuart

PhiloNauticus:

Ships Logs are held by the National Archives at Kew. 

You can search here:

http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/advanced-search

If you insert the name of the ship in as 'Exact word'    -  insert  ADM 53 in 'any of the references' 

....warning: there are a lot of them...

Boomerang:
oh yes - that is a lot of records. Unfortunately none are digitised.
I will look at the options and see if there is away to at least get one or two that are highly relevant.

Thanks again for the guidnece.

Regards

Stuart
