CPO. Ivor Briggs
Royal Navy
My father Ivor Briggs was born in Bradford 9th Oct 1924 and died in Edinburgh in 1997, the son of Edith Shillito and David Briggs. I have been investigating my family tree and came across these photos. The only information I have is that he was a Chief Petty Officer and served on a minesweeper in the Med at the end of the war. I remember him telling me that he was based in Rhodes at some point although I have a picture of him with a date of 9th April 1946 taken in Malta. I have no other information and it would be great to hear from anyone who served with him who might have more information.
