FRANK S. TAYLOR FAMILY AND ROYAL NAVY HISTORY.NET
In Memoriam
With tremendous sadness we very much regret the passing of Mr Gordon Smith author and founder of Naval-History.net.
We would especially like to acknowledge the assistance of the late Mr Gordon Smith who opened his website Naval-History.Net to us.
Gordon Smith was of tremendous assistance to our project. When we were just beginning, he provided much needed encouragement plus practical help and advice. We regarded him as the foremost authority on matters relating to Royal Navy History and his website is ample testimony to that opinion.
I am very glad to have had the opportunity to visit him in Wales and to spend time with him. We are extremely grateful for all that he achieved and the legacy which is his website.

Gordon Smith, creator of Naval-History.Net, died peacefully on 16 December 2016 aged 75. Gordon started the site in 1998, initially
with books he had written on the Royal and Dominion Navies of World War 2. Gordon will be missed dearly by his family and friends.
