Ord Sea. William Leaver Thornber
Royal Navy HMS Scotia
from:Welling, Kent
I had often heard my Father, William Thornber say that he has served at Scotia as a Telegraphist. In fact my parents named their house after his short time there.
Both of my parents have now passed on, but whilst emptying the contents of their house I came across my Father's old Service Records in which it showed that he was at Scotia May 1943 - July 1943.
As an ex RN Submariner, I am now trying to trace some of the other places and ships where my Father served as part of tracing our family tree. They include HMS Collingwood, Beamer, Boscawen, Odyssey, Europa and Phoenicia
