Dear Sir,
Over 125,000 members of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines from the United Kingdom and all parts of the Commonwealth have died in the service of their countries since 1914.
Navy-History.Net is therefore pleased to announce the launch of the first two volumes of Royal Navy, Royal Marine and Royal Naval Division casualties - (1) World War by Name and (2) Inter War, 1918-1939 by Name and by Date.
Working from the original Admiralty Death Ledgers, Admiralty Communiqués and other Official sources, which provide information, including first names, that is not available elsewhere, they have been compiled over many years by Don Kindell in the United States in close co-operation with British naval historians. The Foreword is by Captain Christopher Page, Head of the Naval HIstorical Branch of the Naval Staff (MOD).
The aim of this unique series of volumes is to complement the World War 1 and 2 records of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and post-war casualties of the Armed Services Memorial, while including the otherwise forgotten casualties of the inter-war years, 1918-1939.
The covers of the first two casualty volumes follow. The third is the first of a series of detailed accounts of World War 2 naval actions, due for publication shortly by Bertke Publications in cooperation with Naval-History.Net.
