Hi, can anyone remember Henry John Bates (my dad)who served in the RN as a Petty Officer and who was in Malta, I believe, a few times during WWII and possibly afterwards. He served on the Eagle and the Arethusa as well as others. He retired in 1960 at the age of 39. Born in the Midlands he married and made his home in Lowestoft.
Dad died in 1989 and I am trying to find out more about his life so any information would be very welcome.
