The Journals of Andrew Downes

Tim le Grice told me recently that he has loaned all the 23 volumes previously at Trereife to the National Museum of the Royal Navy at Portsmouth.  They were collected in December 2012 from Trereife by Dr Duncan Redford of the Museum and will form part of the exhibition "The Grand Fleet" to take place in 2014, the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.  The Museum will make digitised copies of all of the journals, and the latter will be available in due course to family members and others.

Copies of my book with extracts from the journals and a biography of Andrew Downes are available from me.
