    Historical
    Information:
    PORTSMOUTH MEMORIAL REGISTER. The first part (1914) records
    particulars of the loss of 1,917 ranks and ratings of the Royal Navy,
    1,524 of whom fell in H.M.S. "Good Hope" and "Bulwark". The second
    part (1915) records particulars of the loss of 972 ranks and ratings of
    the Royal Navy, 536 of whom fell in H.M.S. "Viknor", "Bayano",
    "Goliath", "Princess Irene", "Lynx", and "Natal", and of four civilians
    employed by the Admiralty. The third, fourth and fifth parts (1916,
    divided alphabetically into three parts) record particulars of the loss
    of 4,485 ranks and ratings of the Royal Navy, 567 of whom fell in
    H.M.S. "Black Prince", "Defence", "Indefatigable", "Invincible", "Queen
    Mary", "Tipperary", and "Hampshire", and of eight civilians employed
    by the Admiralty. The sixth part (1917) records particulars of the
    loss of 1,269 ranks and ratings of the Royal Navy, 443 of whom fell in
    H.M.S. "Ghurka", "Paragon", "Vanguard", "Begonia", "Partridge", and
    "Torrent", and of five civilians employed by the Admiralty. The
    seventh part (1918-21) records particulars of the loss of 1,086 ranks
    and ratings of the Royal Navy, 249 of whom fell in H.M.S.
    "Narborough", "Opal", "Louvain", and "Glatton", and of four civilians
    employed by the Admiralty. Each entry in these Registers represents
    untimely death, and the bereavement of a family. Together they
    represent the price paid by those families and the Empire for keeping
    our shores inviolate; for moving here and there, as we would, greater
    Armies than the Empire had ever before dreamed of raising; for
    confining to its harbours, during almost the whole of four years, the
    greatest Navy except our own; for annihilating enemy sea borne
    trade; and for a decisive share in breaking the aggressive spirit of
    the German Government and people.
