AB. Archibald Oliver Turner

Royal Navy HMS Pelican

from:Bexley, Kent

My Dad, Archibald Oliver Turner served on HMS Pembroke in early 1942, for some time then on HMS Pelican, back to Pembroke, in 1944, with a short spell on the Malaya in July 1944, back to Pembroke, then Baldur, finishing his time on the Pembroke 1945. Although he didn't speak much of his experiences it was obvious it was a very traumatic time coping with the dangerous tasks such as depth charges, and retrieving personal effects from crew on other ships where they had been attacked and not survived.

I have photos of: Blue Watch B guns crew, 4 mess, George and Snitch, Neville,Depth charge party, A Guns Crew, Red watch B guns crew, Astra exchange Tommy and Skouse, RPO Levrett and 10 Mess. Dad may have been known as Gerry. He had a brother Sid, who was a stoker and also in the Royal Navy.
