Stok1. James Johnson
Royal Navy HMS Black Prince
(d.31st May 1916 )
My mum told me about Jimmy Johnson, that he was a sailor in the first world war. So I searched through casualty records for the Battle of Jutland as it was the largest naval engagement of the first World War. I discovered four Johnsons in the casualty lists. I checked with my mum to see if he had any middle names. He hadn't, and that whittled the list of names down to James Johnson who served as a stoker on HMS Black Prince.
