Chief Yeo.Sig. Frank Leslie Newlyn

Royal Navy HMS Nile

from:Portsmouth

Frank Newlyn

My father Frank Newlyn served in the Mediterranean during WW2 on board several ships including HMS Nile. He told me he used to sleep on the bridge along with the captain and there were times when it was difficult to identify incoming aircraft whether friend or foe. He served from August 1941 to Sept 1943 on HMS Nile.

He joined the Royal Navy as a boy but was actually too young but somehow managed to be accepted. It was only found out when he was admitted to RH Haslar to have his appendix removed at the age of 21 and by then it was too late, he was in!!
