Just been sent a photo of a relative, His name was Arthur Ernest Sharp 1904-1973, the photo shows him in uniform with what looks like 99% certain HMS Exellence in the photo it looks like Arhtur is late teens early 20`s can some kind person tell me how to procced
Regards Trevor
Hi Trevor,
You could try contacting the Royal Navy association. I am sure they have a web site.
Also does the photograph show Arthur on board a ship or in front of building? The reason I ask is that if he is in front of buildings he could be at HMS Excellent, gunnery school, which is a shore estabalishment (Stone Frigate) in Portsmouth (UK)
Regards
Spike
Hi Spike looks like he is against a wall can send it to you if you like so you can double check Portsmouth sounds good as family is from around Brighton
