of the images on this page (unless stated) were kindly supplied by Simon
Waters. he sent us this email with the images: I have
some old documents and ~20 postcards of HMS Penelope and her
activities during WW1. They were collected by my Grand Dad (Bert 'Jim'
Waters) who served on her as a Wireless Operator. I
would be interested to know more of the ship and its activities
during and after the war.
