Description
A great group of items related to the HMS Queen Mary, a battlecruiser and the last ship built by the Royal Navy before the outbreak of World War I, sunk during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The 10 in. black cap tally is stitched with the words 'HMS Queen Mary', while the 2 in. blue and white enameled pin back badge features an image of the ship at sea, with proof marks present on its reverse. Accompanied by three period photographs, each 4 x 6 in., b/w, featuring an image of the ship at sea, the battalion who manned the ship standing in formation, and finally a portrait of a Royal Navy sailor killed aboard the ship. The verso of the sailor's photo bears an inscription reading: 'Albert George Gale, May 31, 1916. 1st Class Stoker, HMS Queen Mary. Someday we will clasp his hand in the better land.' Cap tally and photos slightly worn, yet overall good condition. Five items.
