Simon Harley is a twenty-eight year old researcher of the Royal Navy in the Dreadnought Era.
I currently live on the North-West coast of England. For the past seven years I've been accumulating material on the Royal Navy Flag Officers of the Great War. By providing a background to their service from 1854 to 1914 then their actions in the Great War will be put into context.
If you have any questions or material relating to the subjects of this website, please get in touch. I would be especially happy to hear from descendants of naval officers who served in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
