245178 Able Sea. Bertie Parker Royal Navy HMS Newcastle from:Sheffield Bertie Parker served in HMS Newcastle. I have two certificates dated December 11th 1940 when his ship sailed in longitude 17 west, known as crossing the line of the equator. A further certificate for sailing in longitude 17 west dated 18th March 1942. My father told me that the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were sighted and Scharnhorst signalled the message: follow me. My father applied and served in submarines. I would be interested in finding out his navel history. Finally I know he was at Loch Ryan after the German surrender and he has photographs of the German U-boat U-680. I researched the U-boat captained by Max Ulber, no kills and was sunk eventually by British destroyers as target practice. I look forward to hearing from anyone who remembers him as I am the only member of my family left.
