MESSAGES
E. H. DAVIES.. I am trying to locate information on E.H.
Davies who may have served on either HMS King George V, HMS Jervis or HMS
Penelope during WWII. I inherited oil paintings of these ships
painted by him for my grandfather, Geoff Davies (who I believe served with
him, I don't think they were related). Unfortunately, my grandfather
died 20 years ago and I have no further information except that I remember
him saying he served on the Arctic convoys going to Murmansk. I
would greatly appreciate any information about either man. |
