CPO. Harold Wilkinson HMS. Liverpool Harold Wilkinson signed up for the Royal Navy on 5th June 1928 for 12 years. He was due to come out in 1940 but as War broke out in 1939 he was kept in service for the duration. He rose from the Rank of Stoker 2nd Class to Petty Officer Stoker at time of de-mob in 1945. He ended up serving 17 years for which he was awarded the Long Service Good Conduct Medal.
My father remembers a story my Grandmother told of how when Harold was aboard HMS Liverpool they were Torpedoed and the bow was badly damaged so had to sail astern (backward) to Alexandra fo repairs, I believe the attack came from Italian Torpedo Planes? Later he was on Atlantic crossing convoy duties and then in Home waters where he ended his time with the Royal Navy.
During the war he served on H.M.S. Liverpool. 1938 - 1941, HMS. Resolution. 1941 - 1941, HMS. Calpe. 1941 - 1942, at shore bases 1942 - 1943, HMS. Goodall. 1945 - 1944 and HMS. Vindictive. 1944 - 1945. He never earned any Bravery or Gallantry Medals but was a hero all the same, as were all who served.
