South Russia Naval Intervention Forces Warner No 1 Onwards

Afternoon Team

Title says it all,  I'm currently writing up a collection of 8 PPC's all from a Seaman Alfred Warner back home to his family. 

Scan shows the first card he sent From Malta,  received in London 6 March 1919,  All are cancelled RFHMS etc

In message talks about leaving Malta shortly,  By April is in the Crimea.  At this stage vessel he's serving on is unknown, in a card dated 18 June 1919 he gives his address as 4 Mess HMS Monitor 22 which he's recently joined.  Any clues what ship he may have been on at this early stage.

More to follow
