His Majesty's Telegraph Ships
Hi does anyone have any information about this service?
Was it a branch of the royal navy or a separate government service? Was it run by the Admiralty Cable Service? Thanks and any leads appreciated. Barry |

Could their 'official' designation have been changed to avoid wartime confusion with the other HMCS (His Majesty's Canadian Ship) (I have a vague recollection of reading something about this). See note * April 1945 - Awards Quote:

Thanks for the additional information.
Are the badges of this service considered civilian or military? Barry |
