Hello liverpool annie, I`m the grandson of one of the survivors of HMS Mary Rose, J F Bailey J3979. Do you know the names or any details of the other survivors from HMS Mary Rose? Most importantly, have you a connection with Seaman Alfred Holden? Regards, Joe Woodman.
Joe, Have you tried uboat.net to see if you can find a pic of this ship? I believe they have started to put up WW1 ships on the site now. Mike
