Stkr. George William Lee
Royal Navy HMS Royal Sovereign
from:Chopwell, County Durham
George Lee was my grandfather. When I was a child he used to tell me about the parts of the world he had travelled to aboard HMS Royal Sovereign during WW2.
Places I recollect are Malta, the Suez Canal, Sierra Leone, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and I think Bombay (Mumbai).
I remember him talking about sailors throwing coins into the sea from on board when docked in Sierra Leone and the locals would dive in to retrieve them!
