OA3. William Frederick Stevenson HMS Wildfire   My dad William Stevenson told me a story when he was a chief gunner on the many ships he was based on. He told me how he was on HMS Pembroke and he was stationed in Chatham doing his training. He was wearing shorts one day during the summer when I joked about his hot legs laughingly. When I noticed he had scars all down one leg and a bit on the other. It was then I found the pivotal moment when he began to tell me his terrifying moment they were under attack. He said they were firing above at the planes and trying to avoid getting torpedoed from the sea Subs and U boats. But he said he remembered a cry of "incoming torpedo". Dad said he was pushed and as their boat sank he was in the water in pain and hearing his fellow comrades screaming for help.
He adds there was fire on the water but when I asked where he was, what ship he was on and the country, he shut down and wouldn't say any more.
Checking his list of ships he was on HMS Tyne and HMS Wildfire III. To name a few.

Surg.Lt. Robert Joseph "Roy" McClements HMS Tyne My dad, Robert McClements was a surgeon on the HMS Tyne when it visited Sydney and then went up to the Japan area. He mentioned Hiroshima, but never really talked about it, and he never attended a Remembrance Day service. I believe that what he saw haunted him throughout his life. He never left Northern Ireland after returning from his Naval Reserve duty. He said he had seen the world and its sadness. I emigrated to Australia with my mother and my family after he died in 1978. As ANZAC day approaches, I have found some old photographs which he had, I am sorry to say, there are no names on the back of the photos.
