Sea. Ernest Ebeneezer "Wiggy" Collis
Royal Navy HMS Anson
from:Enfield, Middlesex
I have been trying for years to find out what newsreel I saw when I was around 5 years old of the HMS Anson being inspected. I cannot remember by whom; it could have been King George or Montgomery. As the camera went along the rows of sailors it came to my Father, Ernest Collis.
I was in a cinema with my Dad's sister in Ponders End Middlesex. I cannot explain how excited I was as I had not seen him for a long time.
I am now 81 and would really love to see that newsreel once more.
