Title: WWI HMS Queen Elizabeth cover
Post by: Marc Parren on June 17, 2020, 03:25:46 PM
I suppose the attached cover originates from the HMS Queen Elizabeth a super-dreadnought battleship. Unfortunately no dated postmark but can somebody help out with the signature?

The initials could be H.K.S those of Capt. Royal Marines Henry K. Stephens appt to QE 22/12/14

also a Lieut Harry Simpson, no middle initial,appt 10/3/14

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the swift reply. I think there are three initials scribbled here so I suppose we are dealing with our Royal Marine. Did he serve on the HMS Queen Elizabeth at the time?
