Report of Drifters off Mudros 6 March 1919
C.O.
D “Northesk” II (91)
Mudros.
March 6/19
Navigating Officer
H.M.S. “Europa”
It is requested that as I am leaving for England in a few days with a Division of Drifters, that my Standard Compass may be repaired & adjusted before sailing.
This compass has been out of action since my taking over command of Northesk but it is almost essential in such a long voyage as I am now undertaking.
