Is there a specialist elist for British Navy in WW2? Can anyone help me towards the wartime records of John KING My Uncle John KING was a CERA and was 'missing at sea' somewhere near Plymouth on Oct 27 1943. He was buried 'with naval honours at 11.00 on 11/11/1943 in West Hill Cemetery Plymouth. He had been out in the China Seas and they had recently returned to home waters. There some family mystery about his death and suspicion that he was involved in pre D-day trials which went wrong .... My father tried to find out more but could not get any thing other than a formal death certificate at the time. Dad has left a note of 'Admiralty Ref DNA/83/DD/8472' Can someone point me at the right archive to chase this file? Robin -- Robin and Margaret McEwen-King Lanark Scotland
