World War 1 One ww1 wwII greatwar great 1914 1918 first battalion regiment
Mst.Arms. Richard Edward Magee
Royal Navy HMS Pathfinder
from:Gillingham, Kent
(d.5th Sep 1914)
My Grandfather was Ted Magee, I am very proud of him and HMS Pathfinder. His medals, Death Penny and letters were loaned to The Historic Dockyard, Chatham. Also on display is the painting of the sinking of HMS Pathfinder.
On the 100th Commemoration I travelled to Eyemouth and boarded the dive boat belonging to Marine Quest. I joined with members of the BSAC. A wreath and Union Flag were placed on the wreck. When the divers returned, as principal guest of honour, I gave the eulogy above the wreck and placed a wreath on the North Sea. The divers presented me with the Union Flag. In the afternoon the Royal Navy arrived above the wreck and held a service. At 15.50 hours his great grandson Andrew placed a wreath at the Naval Memorial at Chatham. I have since commissioned a painting of HMS Pathfinder.

Ch.Skr. Edward Maguire

After my Mother's death death my step-father gave me her photograph album with a group photo of her father, Chief Stoker Edward Maquire on HMS Curlew. I was able to read the name on the cap of one of the sailors. I've discovered that he was in Plymouth at HMS Vivid II when she was conceived, but unfortunately, he died of heat stroke, in Aden, while serving on HMS Clematis, which he was in between 19th of July 1921 and the date of his death 3rd of September 1921, so he died before my mother was born in January 1922.
