Thank you so much for uploading this. I have a photograph of my late father in his naval uniform. It was taken around 1948/9 when he was about the same age as the boys/young men in the film. He ended up as a stoker and ships diver on HMS Unicorn and later, on a minesweeper. Miss you Dad. Thanks again for this.
My father was at Ganges in 1940, he left the RN in 1954 PO Electrician. His last ship HMS Aisne, which was scrapped many years later at Inverkeithing close to where we lived. He was sad to see her scrapped.
I missed going to Ganges,probably for the best as there is no way I would have gone up that Mast. I did manage to sneak in about 15 years ago so it’s good to see what it was like back then.Some very interesting graffiti in the heads by the Sick Bay.
My grandfather CPO Charlie Wright was at Ganges sometime after the war. He had served in both wars and was called up yet again after WW2. Not sure when he was a Ganges but, apparently, was a complete bastard. In between the wars he was the tour manager for the All Blacks, amongst other things. Like so many men, the Navy was his life and he was ill prepared for Civvy Street.
I swerved Ganges, refused to go, waited for a few months and joined at HMS Raleigh aged sixteen and a quarter. A wise decision as it turned out. Then made redundant after ten years. Ex Fleet Air Arm.
@@SaxonSuccess wish I waited a few months, Ganges was hell for a shy 15 yo. Most of the lads in my intake were kicked out of children's homes straight into the mob. Some borstal lads couldn't hack it. Lol

I went to Ganges in May 1964. Really, not much had changed from the detail in this documentary. Thank you for posting. 👍

A cracking film of days gone by. 👍
Ganges 1962. Exmouth 411 division. Signal school. It was rugged but we were made of rubber. I wish all young lads could have a similar experience.
The best thing about joining the Royal Navy was joining the Royal Marines!! Per Mare Per Terram
In those days we had a Navy.And a clean, BRITISH, country.
I am facinated by HMS Ganges... I keep a Yacht there on the base and a short walk from the Museum..
Personally.. I was Merchant Navy..
your boat is on the lower sportsfield,when i was there the assault course was down there as well
Good stuff 👍

My great uncle CPO (stoker) Sam Jefcut was on staff there 4 times 1911, 1916, 1929 & 1934. So a good clip.
WREN - Expert at sizing up a fellow!

They added a stone in weight because they came from a ghastly life of working class poverty……
Not a black or Asian face in sight. Perfect.
