217086 Alfred Willats Royal Navy HMS Nigeria My cousin Alf Willats from London, served on the Nigeria. He often told me of its exploits on convoys to Russia and trips to the USA. I was in the RN at the same time and tried to get a 'compassionate draft' to her but my request was refused. I cannot recall what exactly he did on that ship, all I can tell you is that he wore 'Square' rig. I believe that he was on her at the end of the war but I've lost all trace of him.I hope this may help in some small way.
