Title: Chaplain Montague T. Hainsselin
Post by: Peter Harvey on February 04, 2021, 07:27:40 PM
Any help appreciated, this is a question from a non-member who lives in Russia and collects Royal Navy WW1 items, especially Chaplain censored covers. First i was amazed that he had built a collection over many years without reference to Gould's publications, he now has a copy.

I have been asked if anyone knows of covers or letters from Chaplain Montague T. Hainsselin author of 'In the Northern Mists - A Grande Fleets Chaplains Notes.  I have not read this.

If any of the RN WW1 experts out there has any information it would be appreciated.

Regards

Peter
