Stkr1. George Chapman Cosstick
Royal Navy HMS Ramillies
from:Chiddingly, Lewes, Sussex
George Cosstick was on HMS Ramillies for the entire War. He saw action many times on board this great ship. The longest action of course was D-Day, when Ramillies was involved in the Shelling of the French Coast and targets inland, up to about 20 miles. He spoke in little detail of events, but enough to let one know of the tough time often had by the Ship and the Crew.
He did speak of his mates on board like Sid Horner and Bert Shepard and wondered how they got on, back in civilian life. George died in 1994 aged 86.
