The All Blacks kept us on the edge of our seats to the last minute - not really the score we wanted! HMNZS NGAPONA HISTORY One of the prime objects of the Ngapona Assn is to "encourage an interest in the history of Ngapona and maintain a permanent record". We held a meeting last Friday and have formed a History Team. One of the first jobs for the team is to muster all available photographic material and sort into cronological order. We will then record, digitise and store the photographs. The vision of the final product is that there will be a photo album containing the ship's company photographs on an annual basis. Within the album for that year will be other photographs pertaining to events that have occurred, the people concerned, and any other photos that have historical significance.

    The Life and Times of HMS Concord

    This book is dedicated to all crew members who served in H.M.S. Concord, a ship with a heart and was loved by all who served in her from Boy Seaman to Captain. The compilers of this book also dedicate it to the families of the crews who supported their husbands, sons, and boyfriends whilst they faced the rigours of the sea and in some cases the guns of an enemy. It has been produced as a memory of life aboard our ship, a humble member of the fleet in which we served.

    “Soldier An' Sailor Too”

    “Soldier an' Sailor too ” October 1664 E. J.Sparrow 1 PREFACE On the occasion of the Royal Marines 350 th Birthday perhaps it is worth listing some of their achievements. This booklet takes the form of a day by day diary covering the variety of tasks they have undertaken. A few dates are chosen to show the diversity of the tasks undertaken and the variety of locations where marines have served. Over the course of time they have acquired a remarkable reputation. Their loyalty to the Sovereign is only surpassed by that to their mates. They have fought all over the Globe from Murmansk in the Arctic in 1919 to the Antarctic in more recent years. They fought in desert, jungle and in snow. At sea they have fought in every sort of vessel from battleship to canoe on the surface and also operated below the waves. They have flown in action both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. They rode into battle on horses and camels plus used reindeer and mules as pack animals. When tragedy strikes be it earthquake, deadly diseases like Ebola, volcano, flooding or fire they have appeared to help with the relief. The Government has used them to cover for striking firemen or control displaced Scottish crofters. The UN has used their services in Peace keeping roles. Several British regiments from the Grenadier Guards to some of the Light Infantry are proud to have served as marines and old enemies like the US and Dutch marines are now the firmest of friends. The Royal Marines have a saying that at the end of their life they cross the harbour bar.
