Default HMS Diana: Missing Uncle from WW1
I have several photographs of my Uncle with crew of HMS Diana, in Temperence collars- including the dog- but so far I have been unable to find any details.
He has a distincive name LEVI ST.GEORGE GREGGOR, from Peel on the Isle of Man.
Any advice would be most welcome. Many thanks. Colin.
