ts exmouth

[Tina104]

Hi,

Can anyone help me in trying to obtain a list of boys that were put onto the Training ship Exmouth.  It was moored in the River Thames between Essex and Kent.

I know my grandfather and his brother were on there in the early 1900's, but I would like to know how long they were on there and who put them on it.

Please please help.

Thanks

Tina
