HMS Queen Elizabeth 1914
Handmade pens and keyrings using original teak salvaged from HMS Queen Elizabeth (commissioned in 1914).
Her distinctive service during WW1 included participation in the Dardanelles campaign and the surrender of the
German High Seas Fleet in 1918 when the terms of surrender were given to Admiral Von Reuter on board.
Her WW2 service was particularly well known as she was seriously damaged at Alexandria after explosive charges had been placed on her hull in an attack by two-man human torpedoes in December 1941, forcing her to undergo extensive repair and refit.
She later took part in many offensive operations against the Japanese bases in the Indian Ocean and in support of landing operations in Burma before return to UK before V-J Day.
She was decommissioned on 15th May 1948, and later scrapped.
