Photo of out side of letter to Norman on HMS Findhorn in WW2 from Louise Neales (I think it is Neales and not Meals) in Canada.

This photo of HMS Findhorn may be a Royal Navy issue photo or one that was printed in larger numbers because it has the words HMS Findhorn on the front of the photo. The photo was with my father's (Norman Lock) other WW2 navy photos.

I have learnt or relearnt after a number of years how to resize a photo on my Microsoft program, using the three dots function. I have a photo of the rear of the Royal Arthur Class 207 photo with all the names of classmates. The front of this Class 207 photo, with names on the rear, was not as good a quality as the Class 207 photo I posted but it is the same photo (other than it was larger).

My father, Norman Lock (1924 - 2021), received some medals for his service during WW2 in the Royal Navy (1942 -1946) The medals he received some time, apparently not long after WW2, are substantially smaller than the larger ones (in the photos) that he received later on in 2016 or 2017 while living in Australia.
Norman made an application to Ministry of Defence, Medal Office, Innsworth House, Gloucester GL3 1HW, in 2016. A letter from the Ministry of Defence had the following information.
Issue of Medals.
Issued to JX359656    N C Lock  RN
Awards
War Medal 1939-45
1939-45 Starr
Burma Starr
Pacific Clasp
Atlantic Starr.

Norman had some assistance in making the application from the Australian and British War Disability Pensions / Welfare Officer. Beach Vale, sub section, Naval Association of Australia.

Digitised copies of files are usually no problem - I am not sure whether the National Archives will do a selection, but you can always ask and see what they say...

Incidentally, squadron diaries are also held by the National Archives

Thank you very much ! :)
Do you think it’s possible to order digitized copies just concerning the period (August 15th to 30th) ?
