HMS NEPAL
My
Grandfather, Leslie William Bushell (Subi), was drafted to the ship in
1943. He is in the process of writing about his NAVY career in the
Royal Australian Navy from 1942 to 1946 and has a photo of the Nepal
if you still want one. Any information about the crew would be
greatly appreciated. Thankyou
Joel Taylor

Australian Navy. I would like to hear from any family or crew.
