My farther served on the King George V during the second world war. I would like to find the crew list for the time that they encountered the German Ship Bismark.
He was a none commissioned officer I believe. Like so many who served he did not like to talk about it as the memories were traumatic to most who served.
Any help will be appreciated.

Not sure whether you're only looking for a crew list, but if you are trying to be sure your father was onboard at the date of the Bismark operation you can get it by looking at his service record. If you haven't already got it you can apply free online at https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-records-of-service/apply-for-the-records-of-a-deceased-serviceperson. I have recently obtained my uncle's service record who was on the Hood. Unfortunately he was not one of the three survivors.
