Thread Name: Songs for Royal Navy WWII
Subject: Songs for Royal Navy WW11
I have just received my late Fathers "Arctic Star" medal for his service on HMS Rodney during Arctic Convoys in WW11. He was also on HMS Rodney at the Salerno landings in Italy and the D Day landings. This got me thinking. There are many great songs regarding land based soldiers and the trails and tribulations they underwent during WW11 but I cannot recall any songs relating to the Royal Navy.

So .......... here's the challenge, can someone either point me in the way of some good songs about the Naval involvement OR better still write a brand new one just for my Dad.

The medal will be given to my Mother on her 90th Birthday in October, as yet she doesn't know I've got it.
