SHIPS (and Crews) that Deserve to be Remembered. Royal Naval History
YEARS ahead, years ahead,
Who shall honour our sailor-dead?
For the wild North Sea, the bleak North Sea,
Threshes and seethes so endlessly.
Gathering foam and changing crest
Heave and hurry, and know no rest
How can they mark our sailor-dead
In the years ahead?
Years ahead, years ahead,
The sea shall honour our sailor-dead!
No mound of mouldering earth shall show
The fighting place of the men below,
But a swirl of seas that gather and spill;
And the wind's wild chanty whistling shrill
Shall cry " Consider
my sailor-dead!"
In the years ahead.
Guy N. Pocock.
Do you have a story to tell? The Admirals and Captains have had their say, written their books: but what about you, your father or grandfather - have you memories or/and photos that could make a similar page. Send me the details and the photos and I will add a page on that ship(s),provided there is still room.
(If some of these links are not available please let me know, people sometimes change their web page without telling others, it can be very difficult to keep up with.

JENNY
It is very sad to hear of the death of Jenny of the Side Party in Hong Kong. Like so many of I have memories of those girls working so hard and collecting all the scraps off our plates just to be able to survive. To this day I retain that memory and try never to waste any food.
Jenny died on February 19 aged 92, was a legend to generations of sailors who visited Hong Kong; despite the colony's constant change, she remained the same incomparable institution for most of her life.
Her Obituary has appeared in the Telegraph SEE Friday 27th March 2009

YEARS ahead, years ahead,
Who shall honour our sailor-dead?
For the wild North Sea, the bleak North Sea,
Threshes and seethes so endlessly.
Gathering foam and changing crest
Heave and hurry, and know no rest
How can they mark our sailor-dead
In the years ahead?
Years ahead, years ahead,
The sea shall honour our sailor-dead!
No mound of mouldering earth shall show
The fighting place of the men below,
But a swirl of seas that gather and spill;
And the wind's wild chanty whistling shrill
Shall cry " Consider
my sailor-dead!"
In the years ahead.
Guy N. Pocock.
Do you have a story to tell? The Admirals and Captains have had their say, written their books: but what about you, your father or grandfather - have you memories or/and photos that could make a similar page. Send me the details and the photos and I will add a page on that ship(s),provided there is still room.
(If some of these links are not available please let me know, people sometimes change their web page without telling others, it can be very difficult to keep up with.

Statement of Intent
JENNY
It is very sad to hear of the death of Jenny of the Side Party in Hong Kong. Like so many of I have memories of those girls working so hard and collecting all the scraps off our plates just to be able to survive. To this day I retain that memory and try never to waste any food.
Jenny died on February 19 aged 92, was a legend to generations of sailors who visited Hong Kong; despite the colony's constant change, she remained the same incomparable institution for most of her life.
Her Obituary has appeared in the Telegraph SEE Friday 27th March 2009
