WRENS aboard HMS Wild Goose 1943 (below is the original annotated by Kathleen (centre)) Who is Chris Smiths mother).
Thanks you Chris for this little piece of history. This must have been in Gladstone dock and could be girls from Derby House?

Eric Smith 1944 & 1945

My father Eric Smith from Nottingham served on the HMS Wild Goose in 1944 to 1946.  I have attached a few of his navy photos.
He passed away in 1999, but was very proud of his service on the Wild Goose.  Keith Smith.
