Edward Sydney "Tommy" Healey
Royal Navy HMS Nelson
from:Sydney, Australia
This photo is of my Father-in-Law, Edward Healey he is the sailor on the left as you are looking at the photo. Surviving family have no idea of his war-time service and seem surprised that it appears he was in the Royal Navy, although pre war he was in the merchant navy.
All we can see is the name Nelson on the cap and can only assume he was serving on HMS Nelson. The photo appears to be when the ship was probably on a refit in America.
If anyone can shed some light it would be appreciated.
