Geoffrey Giles

Royal Navy HMS Argus

from:Leeds

I am proud of my dad, Geoff Giles, a Yorkshireman who passed away in Bridlington in 2001. He served during WW2 on HMS Argus and loved the sea. He told me his ukelele and friends carried him through the war. He volunteered for the Navy to avoid flying (volunteers could pick their area of service) and told me about when the Argus was hit by a torpedo and survived. He used to swing on his own on a bar under the deck at the front of the carrier. He met my mother Elizabeth at docks on the Clyde during repairs between convoys, they married in 1949. In loving memory.
