Stoker William Edward Melland

Royal Navy HMS Ramillies

from:Chapel en Frith, Derbyshire.

I believe my grandfather, William Melland served upon the HMS Ramillies, hearing that he'd been sunk on HMS Iron Duke previously, as a very gallant Stoker and only being of roughly 3 survivors of the sinking, he was rewarded the duty of chief Stoker upon HMS Ramillies serving the Queen and country and surviving. He died in 1982 aged 82, in my opinion, he was a magnificent man that helped us all in our British freedom from Hitler. R.I.P all that gave so much.
