TA Leading Seaman John Thomas "Spike" Murray
Royal Navy Gunnery HMS Nelson
from:London
My father John ( Spike ) Murray served on HMS Nelson from 1941-1944 as a gunner (16" forward turret). He was also a gunner HMS Excellent from 1944-45 as TA Petty Officer. After the war from 1945-47 he served on HMS Howe as a gunner (T Petty Officer) and he was on HMS Glasgow in Malta when he left the navy in 1953. If any one knew him or has any information on him I would love to hear from them as he passed away in 1992.
