Hi  I am looking for information regarding James Birchall who was a Pilot First class on the Pilot Boat No1 Alfred H Read. This ship hit a mine on the 28th December 1917, tragically he drowned. I know there is a memorial at Tower Hill London. But I would like to find out more about him.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my 2 x great uncle William Ernest Vidler? I know he was a pilot in the mersey and was working on the No 6 boat. I was just looking for a bit more information as that is all I know.

Also looking for Benjamin Llewellin boat hand.

Thank you.
