Able Sea. John Boswell
Royal Navy HMS Orlando
from:Lockington Yorkshire
Jack Boswell Royal Navy. I have my Dad's Certificate of Service and have just started researching his wartime naval ships. I have lots more research to do. I note he received wounds, WSI (4) on the 3rd of September 1944 and and WSI (5) the 4th of June 1945, which ties in with the date he was on HMS Orlando but not sure what these are.
The Certificate of Service is quite vague. I know my Dad was captured by the Germans in North Africa for a short while and was then liberated by the Americans but I cannot find any information about this. He was in Gibraltar and Malta and I will try and find out more information.
