LSA(TY) George Hall
Royal Navy Drake HMS Dipper
from:Bolton, Lancs
George Hall was my father. I have recently found his Certificate of History and found he served on HMS Dipper from 17 June 1946 to 15 September 1946. He served in the Navy from 24 September 1942 until 15 September 1946 when he was "Released in Class 'A'. He also served on HMS Colossus from 29 October 1945 to 26 April 1946 when it took part in the evacuation of Japanese prisoners of war, converting the flight deck into a playground for the children. He said he used to make up a crew if a ship came in needing someone. He worked on convoy protection as a depth charge setter.
