259229 Tel. Arthur Henry Gibbs Royal Navy HMS Scylla from:Great Yarmouth Arthur Gibbs, my father, was a well respected Telegraphist who was transferred from shore base duties to HMS Scylla in May 1944 escpecially for D-Day preparations. He had been trained on the new equipment that was installed on Scylla, the flagship for the Eastern Task Force at Sword Beach. On 23rd of June 1944, HMS Scylla hit a mine while moving between Sword and Juno beach. It was his 24th birthday! Dad didn't talk much about his D-Day experience, only that it was one very busy time. Sadly Dad passed away aged only 58, just as I had started to probe more and ask lots of questions.
