Albert Chessman
Royal Navy H.M.S Southdown
from:Camden, London
My father, Albert Chessman, did not talk about the war except to say his shipped sailed to Wilhelmshaven in Germany, where he climbed a building and took down a Nazi flag.
Further information about his time on the Southdown was found in "The Southdown Story" held by the Royal Naval Museum.
