| Hi, I am in Gillingham, Kent and involved in a project which will protect the last peace of land once Occupied by the Royal Navy, The Nore Command headquaters which later became shore base reserves HMS wildfire.
Yesterday on a walk around the soon to be Admirals Gardens Park, formerly Nore command I took a photograph of a cement plack, with enscriptions of CPO and P.O Names.
If anyone contacts via Mail I will be happy to forward the photograph onwards.
Being a Medway Towns Lad, most of my family were in the Royal Navy and I retain the pride still felt around these parts though Chatham Dockyard is long gone. | |

| I visited the RNA guestbook expecting to read numerous messages regarding the RNA Cenotaph Ceremony and March past that took place on 13th September - I was disappointed to find that there were none. May I, therefore, be the first to congratulate those responsible for the splendid seamless organisation that went into making the event so pleasureable and memorable. The HMS St Vincent mob that I travelled with to London from Pompey really enjoyed the day, including the facilities laid on for us in the Civil Service Club. Thank you RNA management for all your efforts and those of you who were not there should note your diaries for 2011, it is a good day out. | |
