Help Please!!
Does anyone know about the work of Trawlers in the RN Reserve during WW1. Would the crewmen be exempt from active service? Does anyone know the geographical range they would have covered? I need to know if they would have travelled as far south as the Isle of Wight?
Also would it have been possible for a crew member to take his wife to sea with him?
It's all asking alot but any help much apprciated

Hi Gill
The RN did have their own trawlers in WW1 - one of our rellies (RNR - a civvy fisherman) was killed on a HM trawler WW1 whilst carrying out minesweeping duties in the English Channel.
Royal Navy Reservists were called up. If the person was a fisherman then he would have been called up the same as everybody else if he we was in the age group and would have had to apply for exemption locally if he could give valid grounds for not serving.
