Hi Bev, Clay et al: > The date if 1981 could relate to a veteran of British 8th Navy per the > writing on the bobbin?
I've been looking online, trying to find any reference to the British 8th Navy **at all** and cannot. I have found an 8th Battle Squadron of the British Navy, which was commissioned only during World War I. I've found British references to an 8th Air Force and an 8th Army, relating to action in the Mediterranean in World War II. But nothing about an "8th British Navy". It's driving me crazy. But given the 1981 death date I would suspect it is a World War II keepsake.
