HMS MONTCLARE.. My father
served on the HMS Montclare when it was in Rothesay, Isle of Bute.
Not too sure of the dates, maybe 1948ish. He was a Petty Officer and
his name was Raymond Clifford Allen. If there is anyone out there
that can remember him has any photos of the crew or the ship please
contact me at floridiantel@aol.com
. I do remember he did some rope gymnastics at a Navy Day in London
in from of HRH King George of which I have a photo.
Terry Allen.
HMS HECLA..
My name is Gareth Matthews and I'm researching
my Great Uncle who was the commissioned gunner and was lost when the ship
went down. I noticed the note below and wondered if John Tague was
researching the same person. If so please contact me at gareth.matthews1@whsmithnet.co.uk
My name is John Tague, I am trying
to find out more information on my uncle who was on the HMS Hecla in 1942.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?
HMS WOOLWICH

on my father's ships HMS Inconstant, HMS Woolwich and HMS Raider. I would

get photos of these ships. Contact me at WlknsnGeor@aol.com

served on HMS Woolwich in 1943 remember my father stoker Tam Ower. contact

HMS LUCIA GLENN PALMER.... My father was a stoker aboard this ship from 1943
to 1945/46 (although he is not in the picture above as he was duty

records but him in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) about this time. I would love to be
able to put some names to faces on this picture, and if anyone remembers
my father from this time I would be happy for them to get in touch. My e -
