My father Llewallyn Lott served on HMS Whitshed and HMS Southdown at the start of WW2. He had been with the Royal Navy since he was a boy, serving as a cadet, then on submarine duties and also on the China Station before the War.
After serving on these two ships, he was with Combined Ops on various shore-based ships.
The Sunday Pictorial spread of 31st of April 1940 shows him guarding German U-Boat 55 survivors rescued after the Whitshed, along with HMS Fowey, sank the U-Boat on 30th of January 1940. My father died in 1957.
