Sto. George Budden
Royal Navy HMS Furious

My grandfather George Budden told many stories of his time on HMS Furious during WW1 but also of the ship being in the Far East, especially Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. I have since discovered from reliable sources (I think) that Furious never went to the Far East! If this is correct could he have been loaned drafted to another ship whilst it was undergoing conversion at the end of the war? My mother (his daughter), is adamant that he went to the far east but there are no photos of him in tropical uniform.
As an ex RN myself, I am hoping that he wasn't just spinning dits if so they were more than convincing. Any help would be appreciated maybe other Furious relatives with similar doubts or confusion.
