I served on the Dunkirk 1947 -1949. I was a QM3, Before that i was on HMS Wigtown Bay, a Frigate. I am in the process of finding my old photos, of oppos, which i will attach when i can put some names to the faces. I am 79 in a few weeks time. The captain was a Lt. Cmd Smallwood. Jimmy the one was a Lt. Constable. there was also a Lt.Stewert. Lt.Wace. Lt.Goldsmith [he gave me a ticking off for doing pipe down 5secs to long] I will add a few more names, if and when they come back to me. Good Luck to all who sailed in her. Roy Scowcroft Bolton Lancs Posted by Roy scowcroft on 15 September 2007 HMS Wigtown Bay I saw your post and particularly your reference to Wigtown Bay. My father was a sub-lieutenant in her, joining her in Belfast in January 1946. I imagine you must have known him, as he seems to have served from her commissioning to her mothballing in 1947. We are piecing together his naval service following his recent death. Posted by Christopher Gent on 30 January 2008 My late father, (Signalman) Ronald P Williams (Ronnie) served on the Wigtown Bay in 1946 and I have a photo of the ship (no doubt with him on board) entering the Grand Harbour, Malta during that year, though I'm unable to confirm the month. He was born in Darwen Lancashire in 1925, so had to wait till 1943-44 before he was old enough to join up. I don't have any record of which ship/s he served on prior to joining K616 but I know he served in Egypt and I have a couple of photos of him and some of his mates taken in Alexandria. My husband and I will be visiting the latter in February 2010, and I plan to have my photo taken in the same spot - all the more poignant since he his no longer with us, much to my never ending sadness. He was one of life's gentlemen and the best father a girl could wish for. Would love to hear from anyone who knew him.. or anyone who wants a copy of the photo.
