William John Matthews

Royal Navy HMS Newcastle

from:Eccles

My uncle, Bill Matthews, served in the Royal Navy throughout the war. I have a postcard from him in 1943 in the Pacific somewhere. He had The Burma Star and Pacific Bar as well as the three main medals for the war. He was a singer and recorded with the Hastings Swanea Minstrels after the war. He was a brilliant cartoon artist, and a TV scene painter, as well as a model in his time.

Anyone who may have any knowledge or wartime photos please get in touch.
