William Kenneth Hopkins DOB: 23.5.26 Devynock
« on: Tuesday 12 February 13 19:51 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to establish the facts around my father's  compulsory entry to the Royal Navy as a boy in November 1942, aged 16. Prior to this date he had apparently been serving in the Home Guard and was involved in the accidental shooting of a policeman whilst firing blanks in the meeting hall. I would like some advise about where to research facts about this eg local , newspapers, court records or court martial records. Many thanks!
