HMS REDMILL
NAME: Stoker 1st Class Tom Fraser My
Uncle (Stoker 1st Class C/KX 117336 Tom Fraser, my Dad´s brother), served
on Captain ClassFrigate HMS Redmill as a Stoker (Engineer) from November
1943 until April 1945, after being transferred from HMS Resolution when
the latter was mothballed in summer 1943. During Autumn 1943 he was
retraining to operate Diesel electric engines at Eastbourne college. I
recently discovered the collection of 88 well-written wartime letters he
wrote to his family at home in Burnley, Lancs. Many were written from the
Redmill. He was killed on April 27th 1945, exactly a month before his 25th
birthday and 10 days before the end of hostilities in Europe, when the
Redmill was torpedoed in the Atlantic. I aim to annotate the letters and
publish them as a book. If you have any memories of my uncle Tom, please
get in touch. Tom Fraser, Cartmel, Cumbria, Contact frasertom2@supanet.com

HMS TENBY
ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET LORD LEWIN...... My father was Terry Lewin,
ultimately he became
Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin whose last appointment was as Chief of the
Defence Staff at the time of the Falklands conflict. He died in January
1999
after which I passed the major part of his "important effects"
to the National
Maritime Museum (where he had also acted as head of the trustees). His
life has
been well covered in Richard Hill's authorised biography "Lewin of
Greenwich"
which is still in print and a good read. Now I am collating other
materials about him and
would particularly like to hear from all and any former colleagues, ship's
companies, national servicemen, anyone, with stories, memories and
recollections about him. I am particularly interested in sea jobs (but
anything
is welcome) which in order from 1939 were;- Belfast, Valliant,
Ashanti, Chequers, Corunna, HMY Britannia, Urchin, Tenby, Hermes. I
am aware that unless I collect these stories now
they will soon be lost so please, all of you, try to remember
something!
Many thanks, Tim Lewin
