216976 Jack Edwards Royal Navy HMS Nigeria Jack Edwards served on HMS Nigeria throughout her WW2 service and has written a book detailing his experience of Royal Navy training and time aboard this ship. 'Twenty-two Hundred Days to Pulo We: My Education in the Navy' is available from Amazon. In the book, Jack recounts many of his experiences on the ship allowing us to appreciate what these sailors did for us all in what were often extremely hard conditions at sea. Jack joined the Royal Navy as a Boy Seaman in 1939 and during his five years or so on HMS Nigeria undertook many Arctic Convoys, got torpedoed in the Mediterannean, was involved in the capture of Enigma machines, experienced Russian visits ashore, ending up in the Far East. The ship had a busy war with many interesting events befalling her and it seems important to me that stories like this get told and don't become events that get forgotten or are not even heard of by the rest of us. Thanks Jack - to you and all your shipmates who served on HMS Nigeria.
