PO. Charles Scorer Gilbertson
Royal Navy HV Medway Queen
from:North Shields
My dad, Charles Gilbertson, served on shore mine sweeepers, most of the war on board HV Medway Queen, both prior to the war when she was a passenger paddle stream running down the Thames and then during the war. She was decorated for her efforts during Dunkirk, she is being refurbished in Chatham and I visited recently.
He also served in South Africa at Assagi and Europa. If any one has any stories relating to these ships I would love to hear them.
He died in 1985
