Able Sea. Edward James Smith
Royal Navy HMS Dragon
from:London
My Father, Edward Smith trained on H.M.S Arthur before joining his first ship as a Signalman. We know his last ship was the H.M.S. Dragon.
We know he was in the battle of Java where he was taken prisoner of war by the Japanese.
We are just at the beginning of this journey and hope to fill in a lot of gaps as we go so his grandchildren and great grandchildren will get to know about this wonderful man.
