Royal Navy, HMS Ganges.
Royal Navy old style, Ganges Mast was and could be manned at any time, in snow and ice, during the night, c/w pyjamas! Clean your kit all day only for an Officer to throw a bucket of mud over it..character building. Sounding a bugle at 4am go for a cross country run, and back to bed again, woken at 6am for a cold shower. Training young boys to become good seamen. So He can take his place in the fleet, and He can carry out any task or Duty at any time.

Try En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor by JoaquĆn Rodrigo. It was also featured in the movie, "Brassed Off."

That is some smart climbing the mast. I must say. You will never get drill like that again.

Can anyone tell me what piece of music plays over the start of the mast manning?

Hello Emimi.Could I ask what was your grandfathers name? My Father (Now 89) was also aboard Dorsetshire during WW2 both for the Bismarck and its own sinking in 1942. His best friend onboard was also a Ganges boy seaman who was a pre-war button boy.Thanks for any info you can give.Best wishes.Pete

Great days. Hard but educational.I was in Anson 24 mess, bottom right of Long Covered Way, right next to Faith, Hope and Charity. Instructors were PO. Garner and CPO. Bentley. I did "button boy", only on recreation, just to prove to myself that I could. Bless all you sailors.

Amazing!!! I'm a young wren in todays navy, Raleigh isn't a patch on Ganges by the look of it. My Uncle Kevin Steele passed out of Ganges in the 70's anyone know him?
