Ldg.Tel. Benjamin Green

Royal Navy HMS Nelson

from:Stevens Road, Dagenham

My father-in-law, Benjamin Green, was a leading telegraphist. After he finished his training he was sent to Scapa Flow, to his very good fortune he was assigned to the HMS Nelson. His mate, also a telegraphist, was sent to HMS Hood and we all know about that sorry story. Benjamin was on the “Nellie” from June 1939 till it was torpedoed in September 1941 on the Malta convoys. One of his mates on board was Tommy Ambrose. My father-in-law came home on a destroyer and was then assigned to HMS Forsythe, his war finished in the Pacific.
