Ted Coker

Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve HMS Collingwood

I am trying to find out more about my grandfather, Ted Coker. He entered the RNVR in 1940 as an enlisted man and was wounded in 1942. He was admitted to Great Yarmouth General Hospital. After he recovered, he trained to be an officer at HMS Collingwood. He was a beach master at the Sicily landings and ended the war in Naval Intelligence. He also served with coastal forces, I think around 1940-42. He may also have served aboard HMS Nelson. I know that post-war there was a cup named after him `The Coker Cup' which I think may have been something to do with coastal forces.
