Joseph Burke
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Moston, Manchester
My grandfather, Joseph Burke served on the H.M.S Nelson. He was on board when the Japanese surrendered in Penang (We have a couple of photographs of the surrender.) We also have a photograph taken of Lord Louis Mountbatten, Admiral Harold Thomas Coulthard Walker. I never knew my grandad, but I'm really proud of what he did for us.
