239709 Off.Stwd. Frederick Westlake Royal Navy HMS Sir John Moore from:125 Hurst Street, Oxford Whilst looking through papers from my late father, I found a birth certificate stating my grandfather, Frederick Westlake's, profession. I knew he had been in the Navy but not which ship he had served on. The birth certificate was dated 1st February 1917, and names his profession as Officers servant Royal Navy HMS Sir John Moore. We also know that he served on HMS Repulse. We are not sure when his service began but have some documents dated August 1922 and June 1923. We have looked up who served on Repulse and his name isn't included, but we have original documented proof of his service.
