Thomas John "Spike" Murray

My father, Thomas Murray served on HMS Nelson from Aug 1941 until March 1944 I believe as a gunner on 16" forward turret. From April 1944 until May 1945 he also attended shore basis attending naval college etc. From May 1945 until March 1947 he served on HMS Howe again I believe as a gunner 14" forward turret, at this time he was temporary PO. From May 1948 until March 1949 he was on HMS King George V again gunnery 14" forward turret & as PO. From March 1949 until July 1951 HMS Victory 1 & from Aug 1951 until Aug 1953 HMS Glasgow. Whilst on HMS Glasgow he was in Malta were my mother & myself were also there (1952/3).
I have no photographs whilst he was in the Royal Navy so if anyone has any information or even new him I would love to no. He sadly passed away in Feb 1993
