The Crew HMS St Lucia 1943
This is a picture of the crew of HMS Lucia taken around 1945. My father
was
a stoker aboard this ship from 1943 to 1945/46 (although he is not in this
picture 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. |
