Sub.Lt. Philip G. E, Farwell

Royal Navy HMS Sirius

My father and my god-father both served on HMS Sirius from her commissioning in 1942 until 1945. My god-father was Philip G E Farwell RN, initially a sub-lieutenant. I don’t know what rank he eventually reached. He left the navy after the war and went into the Colonial Service in Africa. My father was Fredrick J Watkins RNR, initially a sub-lieutenant, though by the time he was demobbed he had become a lieutenant-commander.

I could tell you a little more, though mainly I thought it would be good to have their names appear at this excellent site, alongside their many shipmates.
