Jan David Van_Niekerk
Royal Navy HMS Nigeria
My father Jan Van Niekerk told us about serving in the Navy on HMS Nigeria. He told us about the ship being shot at and the crew ending up in life rafts.
He also mentioned being held captive with other crew members in a
concentration camp in Singapore. He had varies tattoos on his body which
were all done while in the Navy. One particular one was an anchor on his chest. Can anyone shed some light on these stories? Thank you.
