My mother has just unearthed my grandfather's RN service record which covers the peiod 1916 - 1947. I've been trying to discover where the ships listed operated and which battles they were involved in through the 2 world wars, but am finding it very frustrating no matter how I Google it ! Is there an easy way to find out this information ? Can anyone recommend any good books ?
Also his record shows that he entered service as a "boy class 2" in June 1916 - family legend has it that he lied about his age and was acting as a cabin boy prior to that and at the battle of Jutland - is this possible/likely and if is there any way to check ?
