Default Joe Killingback: HMS Campbell HMS Indefatigable

Hi All,

I'm also a new recruit looking for details of my Dad's naval history in WWII.

He was Joe Killingback and he served on HMS Campbell in 1940 - 1942 and later on HMS Indefatigable (I think) in the Pacific. He was a stoker and finished as Petty Officer (I think).

Any information on those two ships during those periods would be very welcome.
