Letter from Joanne Van Tilburg
I have received a very interesting letter from Joanne Van Tilburg regarding the two paintings on the front and back of the log book of Midshipman John Warde Osborne, who was on the Flying Squadron Voyage of HMS Topaze to the Pacific from 1866 – 1869.
Letters from Colin H Robertson
I have received two very interesting letters from Colin H Robertson which I think will interest our readers. Colin bought a copy of A Naval Life and found a transcript of his grandfather’s, Leading Signalman Johnston Robertson, written account of the action on 12th January 1917 against a German Submarine in the English Channel.
Kipper VC – The life and times of Rear Admiral Eric Robinson VC 1882-1965 – Part 2
Carl Clayton has written two very interesting and informative articles about Rear Admiral Eric Robinson, a hero in World War One and World War Two, which I am sure will be enjoyed by many of our readers. Admiral Robinson is certainly another in the line of great naval heroes, established by the education and tradition of the Victorian and Edwardian Navy, and who deserve not to be forgotten! Chapter 5 has been revised in the light of new information discovered by Steve Mills about Eric Robinson’s involvement in the secret Distantly Controlled Boats section of the Royal Navy between 1917 and 1918.
