HMS Ganges A Rough History Part 3

HMS Ganges. Royal Navy Training Establishment Shotley . 1902 to 1976. Shore-based training establishment for boys aged between fifteen and sixteen and a half. Not an academic study just for fun.

What a wonderful video, and a fitting tribute to all those young men, and all the staff involved in turning them from boys into men.

I find it hard to believe that I was here 63 years ago. Yes it was hard, very hard, but it sorted most of us young men out and gave us the ability to survive most things that the world could throw at us…
