HMS India was a World War 1 armed cruiser who met a watery grave on 8th August, 1915.  Whilst many of her crew were sadly lost, some of the survivors found themselves trapped in a neutral, foreign country for over three years.  This website tells their story.

​

The story is told in more detail in my books - A Bare Chronicle of Existence - Stories and Letters from Internment in Norway during WW1 and Best Wishes to All - More Stories and Letters from Internment in Norway during WW1. The first book, A Bare Chronicle of Exisitence is available in paperback form or as an E-book on line from most book shops or directly through me.

 Contact me on the Let's Chat button.  The second book, Best Wishes to All is available free of charge, though a donation would be appreciated, to all those who have purchased the first book.  If you have purchased the first book, please contact me using the Let's Chat button to get the code to enter the Members section where you can access the second book.

The other thing I can offer is myself as a speaker.  I have been offering and giving public speaking engagements for over a year now and armed with a PowerPoint presentation, folders of letters, envelopes, photographs and other ephemera, I have given talks to community groups, Probus and other similar groups and Philatelic Societies. I can make the talk fit the needs of your group and promise an interesting, educational and entertaining presentation.  Head to the contact page if you wish to get in contact with me about coming and speaking to your group.
