Tel. John Harold David Good
Royal Navy HMS Europa
from:Hyde House, Crescent Rise, Luton, Beds
My father, John Good, never talked about his time in the Navy, but these records show he volunteered from 12 December 1941 at the age of 19. He served as a telegraphist on HMS Collingwood, HMS Europa, HMS Badger, HMS Pembroke IV, HMS Hannibal and HMS St Angelo.
The only thing I ever being told by my mother was that Dad would have been in the bowels of the ships so in the event of being bombed or torpedoed he would have had no chance whatsoever.
The paperwork shows he was paid a war gratuity of 10 shillings per month for a total of 51 months and a post war credit in respect of Service as a Rating after 31-12-41 of 6d/day for 1587 days.
