Re: RN Battleships: Queen Elizabeth Class
here are a few of Valiant dated from around 1940 and earlier; if you are interested in life aboard Valiant, part of the same group as QE in 1940, you can read my father's journal from that year covering Norway, Mers El Kebir (Oran) and numerous skirmishes with the Italian fleet ...he left a month or two before Matapan.
