PO. Douglas Glen Pring
Royal Navey HMS Newcastle
from:Newcastle
My grandfather, Douglas Pring served on HMS Newcastle between 1939 and 1947, during this time he and some of his shipmates were re-christened as Roman Catholics as this gave them an excuse to leave the ship on a Sunday to go to "church" whilst in port. The only Padre's on board were C of E.
