This story was submitted to the Peoples War site by Ernest Landry.
In 1943 I trained at skegness holiday camp as a telegraph fist.
My first ship was a covet; on the D-Day landings we rescued 30 soliders from a troop ship that was sunk by the big guns of Kelly.
Then I was on convoys to Gibraltar. I was then posted to the pacific where I joined HMS Belfast. I arrived in Australia just as the first bomb hit.
When the war finished I travelled to Hong cong and Shanghi then visited the islands.
