Cook. Roy Postlethwaite

Royal Navy HMS Fly

from:Leicester

Roy Postlethwaite is my father, sadly now passed away. He was a cook on several ships, including HMS Fly, Royal Navy in WW2.

We heard a story that he was badly burned on his legs after his ship was hit by a U-boat. We sons and daughters never saw his legs, they were always covered, I am not sure what ship he was on at the time. We were also given to understand that he was commissioned to work on the Queen Mary as cook, but because his wife died of leukaemia, he didn't make the posting.
