3. Oct. 19, 2010 My father Charles Alan Gilbert was on HMS Glasgow and HMS Howe during the 2nd world war. I was trying to find a list of the crew on either ship but am getting stuck any ideas. Was looking to show my son James as they are doing the 2nd world war and we have just been to the naval docks at Portsmouth. Thank you, Angela Nettleship (maiden name Gilbert) |

2. June 28, 2009 Regarding Hitchcocks, John S. cause of death was on board accident, date of death was 16 June 1954. From what I understand he fell down some steps in the dock whilst returning to HMS Glasgow and broke his back, he stayed in hospital in Malta whilst the Navy fetched my grandmother, he died on the same day she arrive in Malta, sadly before she got to say goodbye. He was buried at Malta. Regards, John S. Hitchcocks (Grandson) |

1. Aug. 6, 2008 Among your photographs of Glasgow you show " A Commander and Captain....names unknown" (photo 3 on page 1). The officer on the right is Captain Philip Clarke and on the left is Commander Felix Lloyd-Davies D.S.C. (later Captain) whose obituary - and the same photograph - appeared in the Daily Telegraph of March 3 1998. Lloyd-Davies was a friend of my parents and in 1936 we had lunch with him in the Captain's cabin of H.M.S. Coventry when he was 2nd "G" and the Captain was on leave! Michael Yeates |
