#OTD 1942 German Sperrbrechers Beijerland & Gauss are sunk with heavy loss of life off Dieppe by RN destroyers. Sperrbrechers (roughly translates as ‘Pathmakers’) were designed to sweep influence mines, & even survive hull detonations from contact mines. Dive report on the wreck of Gauss (pic) and Beijerland: https://www.channeldiving.com/brighton-eastbourne-normandy-diving-trips/dive-normandy/dive-dieppe/dieppe-shipwrecks/ #SWW #FWW #NavalHistory #histodians @globalmaritimehistory

Have been feeling inspired after doing some work assembling communities that I'm really interested in - thought I'd do a tag dump for some of the areas that I'm looking into, as well as have already found super interesting, have been following and am boosting... (not in alphabetical order and probably too broad but for my own future reference also!)

Here's the first of what I call my grandfather's 'pocket litter'. It's a medallion as you can see by the hole/chain.
Known: found in his effects. My mother did not recognise it at all. Grandmother previously deceased. Well cared for so significant somehow. The cheap chain is Mom wanting a keepsake.
Guess: likely Masonic. Grandfathers trade and look of something accessed frequently but furtively fits. Similar symbology
Latin stamped, not engraved. Non-magnetic.
???🤷

But. I have something unique that may be of interest so,
Meet my great-grandparents on mother's side.
You've likely picked up that I'm #CanadianEh but I was born in #Plymouth, #Devon, England. Went back every summer until 16 for couple of months.

My father retired as a Rear Admiral.
Buckle Up 😄
Incoming litter. And it's actually a mystery to the family. It was found in my grandfather's effects and no-one had seen it before. My grandmother had died previously. My mother didn't have a clue where it came from or the significance.
I'll put down what I know and I'd love to let people run with it to learn more.
👍👍

96 followers · 955 posts · Server fosstodon.orgI'm just confirming what details I can for the next one. Which I thought was going to be the actually *interesting* one.
It's just myself and my brother with any recollection of this now.
I've *seriously* looked for a place to put this a number of times. I'm glad #histodians are interested and I have found the place finally.

My great-grandfather was a very successful tailor in #Plymouth. The business passed his sons and eventually shut the doors in the late '70s(?).
If you were in #Devon or #Cornwall at that time, you definitely knew 'Big or Tall, We Fit them All'. My great-grandfather found a niche market in those that bought suits rarely, likely for an 'event' and they were likely rural. So bigger people.
This is his certificate to practice as a Tailor. As well as two ads below.
