Charles William Denney HMS Berwick
Charles William Denney (now deceased) is my father. As far as I am aware some of his time in WW2 was spent on HMS Berwick, serving in the Royal Marines. I am interested to trace all of the ships on which he served and their activity, campaigns etc. during WW2. I don't know any detail, but I believe some time was spent on Baltic convoysRichard Denney
