Hi All
Was just surfing on the net ( don't know where I get the time!) and came across a British pathe news reel clip showing a 1916 military parade of HMS Kent's battle scarred flag from the Falklands battle being laid up in Canterbury catherdral, it is a short clip but shows some of the crew carrying the flag into the catherdral, simply go to www.britishpathe.com or google HMS Kent 1914-1918.
best regards

word of mouth
Hi All
I have read over the years different versions of the battle of the Falklands and the sinking of the Dresden in Cumberland Bay. Do you have any word of mouth versions from your families. The one i have is from my Father from my grandfather (stoker on the Kent) is that they screwed the safety valves down on the boilers to get more steam. Is this possible? and does anyone know who fired first in Cumberland Bay?
Cheers Keith
