World War 2 Royal Navy Service Records
« on: Monday 22 January 18 15:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi
This is my first post so be gentle!

I have been researching my Dads War records to actually find out what he did in the War, he didn't talk about it much like a lot of veterans. He was an able seaman in Combined Operations and did a lot of training at Landing Craft shore bases preparing for D-Day (see attachments) My problem is what he did on D-Day June 6, his record just says Duty! for the period.

Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks Jebber

But if you see my attachments you will see that I already have his record and as I said it says DUTY

Sorry about that, I was trying to act quickly as my iPad battery was about to run out. Hopefully someone will come up with the information you want.
