Emelia "Emmie" Rodgers
Women's Royal Naval Service HMS Merganser
I know this is a very long shot, but I'm trying to find out about my nan. Unfortunately, she died before she could tell me about her life during the war. Now that I have a son I would like him to know what ordinary people can do when the need arises, especially his family. My nan was in the WRENS stationed (as far as I know) at HMS Merganser, I guess from June 6 1944 (as she told me she was on a train to Scotland on D-Day) up until late 1947 when
she left the service. Her name was Emmie (Emelia) Rodgers, she'd have been around about 20 when she was posted. If anyone knew her or knows of her please drop me a line. Thanks for any help you can give.
