MESSAGES
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
. 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
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
HAROLD WILKINSON.. I am trying to find information
on my father's ships HMS Inconstant, HMS Woolwich and HMS Raider. I would
like to get in touch with some of his old shipmates and would also like to
get photos of these ships.
TAM OWER.. Does anyone who
served on HMS Woolwich in 1943 remember my father stoker Tam Ower.
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
at the time). I'm not sure where the picture was taken but my fathers navy
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 -
mail address

ADAMENT HERBERT
JOHN CHARLES GUNNEL... served on HMS Adament in WWII. He died in
the 1950's but if anyone remembers him I would love to hear from
them. Contact Robin Beth Sereghy
