Title: HMS Natal
Post by: Frank Schofield on June 06, 2021, 08:13:30 AM
In his recent post on a RNAS officer by Tony Walker, the name of HMS Natal is mentioned regarding her loss
I have three items from the ship, two are postcards from a Leading Stoker Walter Young, one to  his sister the other to his mother.
The third a cover addressed to Rye, Sussex, censored by the ships chaplain, who also lost his life when HMS Natal blew up in Cromarty Firth in December 1915.

Frank, these are interesting covers!
It is especially valuable for me that there is a letter censored by the ships chaplain.
