William Stanley Wiltshire DSM.
Royal Navy
from:London
My father Bill Wiltshire served on this ship, and was badly injured in 1941/2 I believe. He took over a gun position from another member of crew who was injured whilst under attack in battle. My father received over 200 stitches to his back. His injuries were so severe his last rights were read to him. He spent over 9 months in hospital in Egypt. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the King.
