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
