MESSAGE FOR MR GARNER...While looking through the HMS Valiant site
I came across the photograph of your father on the ship. I have three
photographs taken on one of these ships around the dates you mention.
My father was a stoker on both the Malaya &Valiant during the war
; HMS Malaya:- May 1942 - October 1943. HMS Valiant:- May 1944- October 1946.
As far as I know these dates are correct,
he was on the ship during the dry dock incident. Perhaps Mr Garner knew him?
His full name was Walter Arthur Chaney known as Arthur, from Yorkshire. Kind Regards, Edward Chaney.
