I wonder if anyone has ancestors who served on HMS Durban and who was on her during 1931 to 1933 when she visited South America, Falkland Islands etc? I have a book in my possession written by the then captain Commodore R.H. Lane-Poole.

In the back of the book there is a full listing of the ships company. I have a copy of the book because my father served on her. I also have quite a few photos that he took on the tour plus a diary he kept of various entertainments.
