[sommewalker]

This world we live in, and its technical wizardry surprises me every day.
none more so than today,
This book written by RUDYARD KIPLING,
Entitled Sea Warfare, ,
and published in 1916,...
was given as a present to,
to Dad with best wishes from Bert, 9/4/1917.
above that is written H.M.S J6,
HMS J6 was a First World War J-class submarine built for the Royal Navy by HM Dockyard at Devonport in Plymouth. Commissioned in 1916 she was sunk in a friendly fire incident by the Q-ship Cymric in October 1918
The last but 1 photo is of HMS J7 from the same Class as HMS J6
the last photo is of the crew of H.M.S J6
The link takes you to a page on HMS J6.
so somewhere on the photo of the crew is "Bert"
