Any websites for WW1 Battelships have been given  the records of George Alton Cherry he was not a submariner but a stoker (I suppose he was underwater) he served on the Pembroke, Crescent  and Yarmouth is there any way of finding out what they were doing. Any info gratefully received and Have a Happy New Year.

When I was tracing my father's WWI naval record I had the names of the various ships he served on.  I just put the name into Google and came up with masses of information.
