HMS Norfolk: Does
anyone remember serving with CPO John Corbin? Remember him serving
on the Norfolk and the
Juno in the 60s and 70s. He also did a stint out in Singapore where
he met his wife and married in 1961. If anyone has any memories
or funny stories they can pass on to his daughter as she is making
a personal book for his grandchildren to remember him as he died
back in March 2003. Contact Mrs
Tracey Sawyer

Northern Gem: Trying to find out about my father in laws
Naval career. We know he served on the Northern Gem in WW2, his
name was William Henry Bacon if anyone has any information on him

be pleased to find any photographs of this vessel. Contact Nicola

HMS Nubian: Dave Hale is tracing his family tree and believes
his grandfather served on HMS Nubian during the Second World War.
He has vague pieces of information, some linking the Nubian to
a convoy in which HMS Hood was to meet her end at the hands of
the Bismark, although this may be a bit of yarn-spinning from his
dad! His grandfather was Edward Ernest Hale and the commander of
the Nubian may have been RW Ravenhill. Contact Dave |
