Able Sea. James Alfred Lowe
Royal Navy HMS Offa

My grandfather, James Lowe, was posted aboard HMS Offa from 13th July 1916 to 30th November 1918. He had previously served aboard HMS Spitfire from 24th November 1915 to 10th June 1916. This ship was part of the 4th Flotilla and was badly damaged in the Battle of Jutland in a battle collision with the German Boat SMS Nassau on 31st May 1916. HMS Spitfire returned to port where my grandfather was posted to Portsmouth (HMS Victory) and then to HMS Offa in July.
