Able Sea. Richard Alexander Makinson
Royal Navy HMS Nigeria
from:Horden, County Durham
My uncle Richard Alexander Makinson (whose name I proudly bear) joined the Royal Navy in September 1935 he was 17 years old. He served on HMS Nigeria from September 1940 to January 1944. When he was discharged from the Royal Navy in 1957 he returned to coal mining. He died in 1955. To my shame and regret I know nothing else, so if anyone has any information I'd be grateful.
