There are quite a few Mudcatters, who know about these things. My grandfather served in the RN throughout the war. I only ever heard snippets about him from my mother. I want to try and find out what ships he was on and where he went. I think he was on HMS Hood and HMS Gypsy at different times. Both ships went down shortly after my grandfather had left. I also believe that he was involved in the evacuation of Crete. I was told that he took the last boat off the beaches, although that story could well be one, which has grown in the telling. Any pointers where I should start looking?
