Hi All,
Recently researching my maternal Grandad's - Bertram (known to everyone as Bert) George Ray war records.
He served on ML149 from October 1943 to February 1946. He was the Telegraphist.
I have identified him from the group photo, as standing on the lower row, far right just behind Steve's Grandfather next to the funnel.
He joined the Royal Navy in 1941, and also served on ML 152 and ML 455, prior to joining ML 149, which he served on the longest on until being demobbed.
I have enclosed the few wartime photos my mum has of him, we are fortunate to have an original of his service record and medals. I have taken a snap shot of the service record timeline.
Also, I cannot identify some of the locations/ships noted on his service record such as Collingwood, Drake, HMS Skirmisher, Attack - are these Royal Navy bases where he was training prior to active service?
Hopefully this fills a gap as who all the crew were on ML 149, interested to hear from anyone who can provide further information on any of the ML's he served on.
Regards
Phil.
