    Probably in the news as a participant in the Battle of Dogger Bank on January 24, 1915. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Dogger_Bank_(1915)

    I understand that the ash dumping procedures were very involved and messy to the ship.

    Martin Manning I understand that the ash dumping procedures were very involved and messy to the ship. Not really, they had pumps and chutes and they basically blew it out the side. It was taking coal onboard that was labourious and messy.

    Rmor Plate Coolness! I visited the Battleship Texas: last dreadnought, and it was useless for information as it had been converted to oil in the '20s.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_(BB-35)

    This would be Air Commodore Charles Rumney Samson CMG, DSO & Bar, AFC (8 July 1883 – 5 February 1931) the British naval aviation pioneer. You can read more about him here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Rumney_Samson
  • Art Siegel said:
    LOC, there is a transcription error. This is Southsea, England, all one word.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thank you Richard Arthur Norton and artolog. We'll add his full name to our record and correct the spelling of Southsea.

    On Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Iron_Duke_(1912) The Iron Duke was the nickname of the Duke of Wellington.
  • Seth Gaines said:
    Picture is from March 1914 (commisioning date) at the earliest.
  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    this would be 1919 or later as the after 6 inch guns have been moved forward. I've noted it in the photo
  • Seth Gaines said:
    Typo? The ship was almost completely disarmed in 1931, and scrapped 1948.
  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    yeah fat fingered it
