Able Sea. Ronald Ernest Phillips
Royal Navy HMS Formidable
from:Chichester, Sussex
My dad, Ron Phillips served on HMS Formidable from 1942 till 1945, he was a gunner but he did not talk a lot of what went on during the war. I know he had shrapnel wounds on his back, sadly he passed away in 1994. He was on the shipwhen they brought Prisoners of War back and I know my Dad was very proud to have served on HMS Formidable. He used to do boxing on the ship at fly weight as he was only short.
