HMS Pembroke was not a ship 1916

 


HMS Pembroke was a Royal Navy training establishment located in Chatham, Kent, England. It was built in 1897 and completed in 1902. The establishment was used to train new recruits and to provide refresher training for experienced sailors. It was also used to house the Royal Navy's pay and accounting offices.

In 1916, HMS Pembroke was used to train sailors for service in World War I. The establishment provided training in a variety of skills, including seamanship, gunnery, and navigation. It also provided training in discipline and teamwork.

The sailors who trained at HMS Pembroke went on to serve in a variety of roles in the Royal Navy. They served on board ships, on land bases, and in the air. They fought in battles, carried out patrols, and provided support to other ships and soldiers.

HMS Pembroke played an important role in the Royal Navy's efforts during World War I. The establishment trained thousands of sailors who went on to make a significant contribution to the war effort.

After the war, HMS Pembroke continued to be used as a training establishment. It was closed in 1984 and the site is now a university campus.

Spring time

  The sun awakes in a sleepy stretch,  Yawning warmth on a winter's wretch.  Birdsong flutters on the breeze,  Waking trees from slumber...
