On Sunday I will be at the D-Day Museum in Southsea to give a short talk about my book ‘Portsmouth’s World War Two Heroes’. Afterwards I will be signing copies.
The talk starts at 2pm, and is included in the usual admission price to the museum, or £2 for the talk alone. The book signing afterwards is free to all.
Hope to see you there!
You ain’t gonna see me, not without a pair of water wings and one BIG outboard motor!
Congrats on another step to your impending fame and fortune. Soon we’ll all be able to say “James Daly? Yeah, I knew him back when…”.
Hello James, I came across your site because I am researching HMS St Lucia for an elderly ex-R.N. gunner, Bert Bowler, who served on this and 2 other ships. I am a Naval & Maritime Historian and writer based in Victoria, Australia. How do I go about getting his service record please. I do hope that your book signing and sales went well.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, I’ve taken out your email address so you don’t get any spam! Unfortunately there are some unsavoury types out there
You will probably need to write to the MOD to obtain his service record. As he is still alive I do not think there would be a charge, they can be contacted via the MOD’s Veterans Agency.
