Wilfred Haynes
Royal Navy HMS Byrsa
from:Redditch
I am researching my father, Wilfred Haynes. Dad was probably better known as Bill. Prior to joining up he was a P&TO in Redditch, Worcestershire. Dad was born in 1920 in Levenshume, Manchester. He never spoke about the war in any form and now it's too late to ask him as Dad passed away. In the photograph Bill is 1 row from the back, 2nd signalman on the left.
His service included postings at: HMS Byrsa (Naples) and HMS Euroclydon (Malta) from 1942.
After the war he married and moved to Bridge Farm Beoley, one of several residences. I'd be very grateful for any information.
