CPO. William Stirling
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Cambridge Ave, Hebburn
My Grandfather Bill Stirling spent WWII aboard HMS Nelson. He wasn't inclined to speak about his experiences but he was on board every time it was torpedoed, and at one point had to threaten his own team in the engine room after they began to get disillusioned by the captain's orders. Unfortunately he never went into detail, and these are the only details I have. He was convinced the captain was on a personal mission for glory and said "He fancied hissel a George Cross".
