| Dear Visitor,
Welcome onboard Naval-History.Net
I aim to answer all my emails in detail, but with a few thousand web pages to
format and edit, and many more to be added, I'm always a bit overwhelmed.
Before you email me, please note:
1. My main area of interest is the Navies of the world 1914 to 1945 and
postwar. Outside this, you could search for more suitable websites (I
use Google).
2. To find out about particular ships, use the search box at the top of
www.naval-history.net. If you can
not find what you want, do an internet search, but add HMS (or HMAS, HMCS,
HMNZS, USS) in front of the name and make sure the spelling is right.
3. To find out about Royal Navy casualties, go to the alphabetical and
date listing at the top left hand side of
www.naval-history.net. You can
also check the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site (Google search).
4. To find out about ex-Navy family and friends, you will need their
service records. Again, go to
www.naval-history.net, bottom left hand column for links. There you will
find contact details for RN and USN service records. The RN record should
include ships and dates, and you can then research those ships on Naval-History.Net
and other sites. Note: some of these ships will be shore bases.
If after this you would still like to contact me, my email address is
naval-history@ntlworld.com.
If you require a reply, please bear with me. I
try to answer all my emails (except when my computer glitches and dumps them
all), but if some thought or research is needed, it may take me a while to get
round to them. The same goes for the considerable amount of research I am sent. I
would like to get this all online instantly, fully formatted and edited so it is
not lost, but again it can take me months, if not years to do so and to the
standard I aim for.
Best wishes, Gordon Smith
