Chief Yeoman of Signals. Walter George Mills

Royal Navy HMS Hood

from:Plymouth, Devon

(d.5th Dec 2001)

My father, Walter Mills joined the Royal Navy at a very young age. He served on a number of ships including HMS Hood before she was sunk. He was on the HMS Guillemot escorting convoys on the Arctic runs to Archangel in Russia. The Guillemot was commanded by Nicholas Montserrat for a period when my father was aboard. It was his belief that he was mentioned in The Cruel Sea, Monserrat's best seller. I hope this may be of some interest as the Navy was always his first love. He died aged 90 years in December 2001 having been born in Plymouth on 11th of October 1911. He was one of 11 children and his father was also in the navy from a very young age.
