L/Sea. Geoffrey James Miles
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Pewesey, Wiltshire
Very little is known of my father's, Geoffrey Miles, service during the 2nd world war. I do know that he served on HMS Nelson between 16th Feb 1940 and 21st March 1942. I know that he went from there to Inveraray, HMS Quebec to do his Naval Commando training, and the next date is joining a Combined Operations Unit from 31st May 1944. I don't know his ranks at these particular times, but he was a Leading Seaman on his discharge on 11th November 1947. Sadly, my father passed away in 1982, 35 years to the day, after his discharge.
