Photos/Post Cards from Frank’s Personal Album – Page 1

I have several of Frank’s photo albums. The photo post cards are probably not new to the world but they add some more details of life aboard the Lion.

Unknown

Presumably the Lion but should be corrected if it’s not.

Bellerophon

H.M.S. Bellerophon. At Jutland she was commanded by Captain Edward F. Bruen in the Fourth Division. (From the Wiki). Fired 62 rounds but did not receive a hit.

Centurion

H.M.S. Centurion In the Battle of Jutland, Centurion was commanded by Captain Michael Culme-Seymour. Firing four salvos of her main armament at the Lutzow, she took no hits. (Wiki) Frank was originally told off for the Centurion, he was in the picket boat heading over to her, but was called back for the Lion. 

Lion 5

Please correct is this is not the Lion.

Heeling Excercise

Described as ‘Heeling Exercise’ on the back of this photo.

Forth Bridge

Significant because of the number of times the Lion sailed under it on her way to Rosyth.
