I was aboard Valiant when she was part of the Stokers training establishment at Devonport in 1946. She was anchored close to Salt Ash bridge. Lots of Royal Navy ships were in the river at that time and if my memory serves me right we were right opposite The battleship  H.M.S. Renown. We visited H.M.S. King George V while
we were there.

My mother collected the black silk ribbons from Naval sailors hats when she lived in Alexandria, I have one with HMS Valiant in gold lettering thereon plus 20 others with different ships' names, including 2 HMAS ones.  Sadly my mum died last month aged 92 and I found this collection of ribbons amongst her souvenirs.
