HMS CAROLINE As
the current commanding officer of this ship, I am interested in building
up a catalogue of existing photographs for display onboard. If
anyone has any image, please contact: Contact
Here
HMS CLEOPATRA I
have a question to
ask; Can anyone help me with my research?? My grandfather was
in the navy from around 1924-5
and served on a ship called Cleopatra during WWII - it was on this ship he
was
injured and spent around 6months in Toronto Hospital (Canada) with burns
(1944/45's). He was an engine stoker - from childhood memory?? and
was torpedoed once I believe by an Italian
sub?? and hit by a plane------- I think this is when he
was injured?? NOW-- I thought he was in the merchant navy (he
signed up at Chatham, Kent, england) as he told me stories as a young
child of
the Italian sub surrendered to his ship after torpedeoing them and the
captain
was only about 17?? His marriage certificate states his
occupation as
'Sailor RN' - would this be correct for someone in the merchant
navy?? He boxed in the navy under the name 'Cheese Eye'
real name James Marshall Thanks for your interest, John.
