Birds fly in front of Texas with cage mastsContext
Battleship Texas arrived in Scapa Flow on February 11, 1918, where she joined the British Grand Fleet. She patrolled the North Sea throughout 1918, escorted the German High Seas Fleet to surrender on November 21, and departed the Grand Fleet on December 1, 1918.
John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.Collection
