looking for help
« on: 10 April 2025 02:02:56 pm »

i'm new to this .i'm looking for help with my dads naval records from the war . he told us very little about his time in the navy and it has only been recently that i managed to obtain records . this has caused me all kinds of confusion .he seems to have moved around a lot seldom in 1 plaice for more than a couple of months . but all the "ships" he was on appear to be land based and there is frankly little or no information on them .so any help would be much appreciated.

HE was trained as a ASDIC operator but that dose not appear on any paperwork .i know he was injured as he had a metal plate in his chest . but there is also no record of that either. He caught malaria but no record . hi record only shows 4 lines
