World War 2 Two II WW2 WWII 1939 1945

FO Noel William Springer .     Royal New Zealand Air Force 547 Sqdn.   from Nelson NZ

Springett .     Royal Navy Aux Hosp Vaenga, Murmansk

My father was one of the small team who set up the Royal Navy Auxiliary Hospital at Vaenga, Murmansk in 1941 for those wounded on the Arctic convoys. He was there for 15 months and during this time Capt (later Admiral) Sherbrooke was a patient and was awarded the VC while he was there. Does anyone have any information about this hospital?

PO. Robert Springett .     Royal Navy HMS Malaya

My father, P.O Bob Springett, served on HMS Malaya from 1937 until 1941, finally leaving her whilst she was in Brooklyn Navy Yard for repair after being torpedoed. Just after he joined her in '37 she was in collision with a merchant ship off Oporto and they came back to the UK for repairs. Whilst repairs were being carried out Dad was transferred to HMS Revenge which took part in the Review of the Fleet at Spithead. My mother, brother and I were taken around the assembled ships before having tea on board Revenge.

A commission in those days was for 2 1/2 years and Dad was due home in '39 to come out on pension. However, the war changed all that, and the next time I saw him was in 1941! I should be pleased to hear of anyone else with family connection with the Malaya at about this time.

Can you help us to add to our records?

The names and stories on this website have been submitted by their relatives and friends. If your relations are not listed please add their names so that others can read about them


Did you or your relatives live through the Second World War? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial? Were you or your relative evacuated? Did an air raid affect your area?

If so please let us know.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Secomd World War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.














The free section of the Wartime Memories Project website is run by volunteers. We have been helping people find out more about their relatives wartime experiences since 1999 by recording and preserving recollections, documents, photographs and small items.

The website is paid for out of our own pockets, library subscriptions and from donations made by visitors. The popularity of the site means that it is far exceeding available resources and we currently have a huge backlog of submissions.

If you are enjoying the site, please consider making a donation, however small to help with the costs of keeping the site running.
