Steward Richard Davidson "Mac" Mcpherson

Royal Navy Steward HMS Drake

from:Frome

My Dad should be writing this as he was known to be the biggest story teller. I know very little about his service except what I am reading on his Certificate of Service.

He served the Royal Navy between April 1943 and August 1944 when he was discharged and although the writing is difficult to read it looks like he transferred to the Army. He would not speak about his service so no one knows exactly when he left the Army if in fact he did join.

His Naval Service is listed below.

  • 1/4/1943 to 3/5/43 Royal Arthur training
  • 4/5/43 to 21/6/43 Drake
  • 22/6/43 to 9/8/43 Heron
  • 10/8/43 to 16/8/43 Drake
  • 17/8/43 to 30/9/43 Reads like Faust
  • 1/10/43 to 23/2/44 Drake
  • 24/2/44 to 5/7/44 Boscowan
  • 6/7/44 to 19/7/44 Victory
  • 20/7/44 to 24/8/44 Drake
