AbleSea. Raymond Thomas "Tiger" Welsh
Royal Navy HMS Rodney
from:Monmouth
After completing his training on the newly commissioned Raleigh, the Drake, the Defiance and the Cabbala, Ray Welsh was consigned to the HMS Rodney on Xmas day 1941 and was de-mobbed (class A) on St Valentines day 1946.
Ray died of kidney failure at the tender age of 29. He sired three children in the time he had of which, of course, I am one. Whenever I think my life is going tough I think of how my father spent his youth. Serving bravely his country from the age of 19 to 25. What was I doing? living the good life he fought for. I never knew him but I have a deep appreciation for his life and his soul. Thank you father.
