County Notes

Ships: 1914-18 and 1939-45: List B

Notes

This is a list of shipping and the men from the North East who sailed in these vessels during both Great Wars.

This list is far from complete, it is not being done systematically, and will continually grow as more information is discovered.

It will contain errors, for which apologies are made now.

The Royal Naval Battalions are not included.

If you wish to have anything adjusted or added, please contact 2014@newmp.org.uk.

The names in red are those for whom an “Every Name A Story” page has been created.
