HMS Victory on cant find any information on HMS Victory apart from the famous one could this have been the name of the naval base

Jayne, welcome to the forum and for posting your query. You are correct in your assumption regarding Hms Victory, it was indeed the name of the Naval Barracks in Portsmouth.

In case you don't have any here's a couple of photo's of Hms Canada, she was a battleship.

If you require any more help please use the forum there are plenty of members who may be able to help you.

Hello Jayne..........With your Grandad having the name Frith and possibly serving in the RN in Portsmouth am I right in assuming he was, or perhaps, in later life, involved in the building company of "Frith the Builders" in Portsmouth?

Dont think so, never heard anything on that lines.
