View Full Version : HMS Cleopatra - WW2 (Raymond Ackroyd Harris)
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any information where I could locate a cre list of the HMS Cleopatra in WW2.
My grandfather was a member of the crew and was called Raymond Ackroyd Harris. Our family know very little about him and would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone may have,
thank you

Welcome to the forum. I can't help with crew lists but if you look at this web page it will give you the ship's service history.

Hope this helps.
