For most people, the emphasis of the Great War has been is on the men who fought in the trenches. We hear little about the men who served on the high seas, with either the Royal Navy or the Merchant Navy.
For some time now we have been compiling a list of ships and the men from the North-East who served in them.
This is merely just that – a list – and when we have an “Every Name A Story” page for a man, this has been added to the list. There are a lot of names for which we do not yet have the “Every Name A Story” information.
Search for Ships: 1914-18 and 1939-45 in the Search Box.
If anybody wishes to add anything, or do any work on this aspect of the war, please contact : 2014@newmp.org.uk
