Useful Links Frank's Story Arthur's Story Home

Michael Hanna, who was born in 1926, did not meet his uncles Frank and Arthur but absorbed stories about them at an early age. After serving in the Navy from 1944 to 1947 and while working in local government, the author found his historical interests focussing on the naval side of WW1 and the part played in it by his uncles' ships. The Hanna brothers experiences in different types of vessels and theatres of war would, it seemed, if brought together, provide an "alternative history" to counterbalance the published volumes, many of which concentrated on the operations of the Grand Fleet and tales of Jellicoe, Beatty and other luminaries. A start on this project has been made with Frank's story titled "Just a Number" and "Arthur's Story" - perhaps, with good fortune, other works will follow.
