MESSAGES

HMS ILLUSTRIOUS

STUART GREAVES (Sub Lt Artificer).. My father, Stuart, served on HMS Illustrious 1941-1946 (possibly longer). He was an engineering officer/artificer in the engine room joining her in Malta after her bombing. Does anyone remember him? He also served on Formidable, Victorious and Forth. 

INCIDENT AT PORTLAND HARBOUR.. A friend of mine remembers an incident involving a liberty boat from Illustrious and some bad weather. A number of sailors were killed but a friend of his saved a few people and was awarded a medal in recognition of his bravery. He cannot recall this young sailor's name. Can anyone help? 

JOHN T HILL.. JAMES SELLARS.. I am trying to contact Marine John Hill who served with me on Illustrious in 1942. We served together throughout the war and were discharged at the same time. John Hill was a member of my wedding party in 1946. I have often wondered what became of John and would like to contact him wherever he may be. 

JIMMY PETTIGREW.. My father Jimmy Pettigrew (from Glasgow) was on HMS Illustrious as an Observer/Navigator in Grumman Avengers, 845 Squadron when Illustrious was based at Trincomlee, Ceylon late 1944 -early 1945. I would be grateful to hear from any 845 Squadron members who might remember my father.
