| The Coastguard goes to War. 1854 When the Crimean War broke out in 1854, the country was, as usual, totally unprepared for a struggle with the colossal might of Imperial Russia, and the value of the Coastguard as a naval reserve was clearly shown. Every man who was available was drafted to the fleet. During the war 3,000 men were drafted to the Fleet. Article Category: Life and Times |
TNA RN Service records
This from the National Archives website - it appears that they have extended the coverage of RN service records:08 January
The records of seamen who joined the Royal Navy between 1853 and 1923 can now be searched and downloaded from Documents Online, The National Archives' digital records service.
While many of the records from the Registers of Seamen's Services (ADM 188) and the Continuous Service engagement books (ADM 139) have previously been digitised, we have only recently completed the collection by releasing the final batch of files (ADM 139/221 - 1027) online. This means that over 680,000 records on Royal Naval seaman are now available to search and download.
Job Well Done
On behalf of Tony and myself, I'd just like to say thank you and well done to Martin [crimea1854], who has surpassed his 250th post in the forum.He freely gives his considerable time, effort and extensive knowledge to our members. The forum would not be the same without him.
To help further with the development of the site, Martin has been "promoted" to Administrator.
Regards,
Philip
