Ldg.Sea. James William Woodhall
Royal Navy HMS Nigeria
from:Co Durham
My father, James Woodhall joined HMS Nigeria when she was first commissioned and served on her through the Arctic convoy missions up until she was torpedoed whilst on Operation Pedestal. He was part of the detail who retrieved the bodies of lost comrades after the ship had limped into Gibraltar, the memory of which troubled him for years afterwards.
