223645 Tel. John Harry Cushing Royal Navy HMS Nelson from:23 Molesey Road, West Molesey, Surrey. Our Dad, John Harry Cushing, joined the Royal Navy on the 23rd March 1943 at the age of seventeen and a half and was trained at HMS Royal Arthur, HMS Cressy, HMS Mercury and HMS Vicas as an ordinary Telegrapher. He joined HMS Nelson in December 1943. He remained on the Nelson until September 1945. Following the Japanese surrender in Singapore, we think he was transferred to the mine sweeper, HMS Friendship, and was released to shore on the 17th September 1946. Dad died in Swanage in May 1987. Apart from his war service medals we think we have his Navy Knife, which is inscribed 'Cunnery Lockspike Bosum'.
