Lt.Co. Walter George Ward MID
Royal Canadian Navy HMS Scylla
from:Peterborough, Ontario
My father in law, Walter G Ward, who rarely mentioned WWII, was lieutenant
commander aboard the HMS Scylla on D-Day. He was on loan from the RCN to the RN and was mentioned in despatches:
"For gallantry, skill, determination and undaunted devotion to duty during
the landing of Allied Forces on the coast of Normandy."
