Able Sea. Eric George Ealden

Royal Navy HMS Hannibal

from:Horsell, Woking, Surrey

My father Eric Ealden started his basic training at HMS Collingwood in May 1942 and left after 8 weeks' training as an Ordinary Seaman. A year later, when commissioned onto HMS Hannibal in May 1943, he was promoted to Able Bodied Seaman. He served in the theatres of war in the Atlantic, AC Europe, Africa and Italy. Like many others who served in WWII, he would never tell of what he had seen, but he used to slightly impatient with US films which "tinkered" with UK history! All he would ever tell me was about the spectacular thunderstorms, high waves and the dolphins!!!

I am extremely proud of my dad's service to his country and would to love know if anyone served alongside my dad.
