I came across these pictures yesterday featuring Royal Navy personnel (Officers and Ratings) and a couple of ships.
Most relate to HMS Dreadnought, HMS Irresistible and to a lesser extent HMS Duncan.
Most were taken in Malta and Portsmouth and mostly date from 1907.
Anybody care to comment?
Regards, Bob.

Here are two more from the same source.
The first one shows a Sherman tank landing from an LCT.
The second one carries the following headline:-
"Sicily" Syracruse's coastal defences change hands.
Picture shows:-Coastal defence positions commanding Syracruse's harbour and the surrounding seas, were overcome by commandos. The guns were in firing order and are now being manned by British coastal defence battery under the command of Major J.V. Kelly D.S.O.
Note the mixture of blue and white caps of the naval personnel.

Hi Bob,
Re your posting to "Unidentified Personnel" and attachments of 25th August, 17:26 hrs.
The fourth photo from the right in the first row; is this a photo of the Officers on HMS Irresistible?
If so, is that not "O/S Togo the Cat" in the centre front row?
I agree with other replies SUPERB! photos
Regards
Bob William Green
