Sig. Dennis Ralph Williams

Royal Navy HMS Campania

from:Cardiff, Wales

Dennis Ralph Williams was my father. He was a signalman aboard the aircraft carrier HMS Campania during the Second World War, for much of the time escorting the Russian convoys to and from Murmansk.

He didn't talk much about his life on board except to say how they all looked forward to their ration of rum. He did talk a little about his job as signalman flashing an Aldis lamp and reading Morse code or using flags. My dad would never consider flying after the war because he had witnessed too many planes that simply did not return or returned and ended up in the sea (the drink, as he referred to it).
