    I am looking for any information on my late father.
    Harold Anthony Armstrong Official Number: MX109246
    DOB 26/10/1923 - DOD 24/04/2012

    This is the only information I have have:-


    HMS Glendower 18 May 1942 - 30 June 1942
    HMS Victory II 01 July 1942 - 13 Aug 1942
    HMS Drake I 14 Aug 1942 - 04 Jan 1943
    (RNH Barrow Gurney)

    HMS Victory I 05 Jan 1943 - 18 Jan 1943
    (RNH Haslar)

    HMS Victory II 19 Jan 1943 - 22 Feb 1943
    HMS Nile 23 Feb 1943 - 30 Sep 1944
    (64 General Hospital)

    HMS Nile 01 Oct 1944 - 5 July 1945

    HMS Victory II 05 Aug 1945 - 18 June 1946
    HMS Victory X 19 June 1946 - 24 Aug 1946

    I believe sometime uring his service in Alexandria he served aboard a Destroyer but I cannot find out the name.

    If anyone can help me fill in the blanks I would be grateful.

    Hi there

    My father also served on HMS Nile 13/11/1943-16/03/1944 as an Ordinary Seaman. On my father's service records it has HMS Nile and in brackets underneath (HMS Sphinx). Not sure why this is. Do you have a copy of your dad's Service Records? They are obtainable. I have a photo of 2 sailor friends of my father who I cannot put a name to. I have posted it on wartimememoriesproject.com in the hopes someone will be able to put a name to the face. I can put photos on here too just to see if one might be your father. Let me know. Regards Teresa
