That would up set him…a waiter…actually WTR is a writer.
A writer had many responsibilities that go with handling legal, pay, welfare, travel and career issues for his crewmates.

My uncle, Brian Killick, who currently lives in the Phillipines, served as part of the ship’s crew from 1960 to 1962 and is very interested to hear from any of his old ship mates, especially as the 50 Year Anniversary of the evacuation of Tristan da Crunha is approaching. As the Navy saying goes “You always remember your first ship”, and he does with fond memories. Please do not hesitate to contact me/him through Facebook – either via his wife Alma Killick or nephew Robert J Killick.

My father was the gunnery officer on hms Leopard in 1962, Lieutenant W S Stuart. I have a photo of him in bathurst, gambia 62. Can anyone remember him or provide info on the ships travels after March 62 please. Leopard was my dad’s last ship. He left Maryport, Cumberland in 1938 and joined the RN as a boy seaman at hms Wildfire, Sheerness, Kent. He often spoke about his last 3 ships with fondness: hms Pelican 1956/57, hms Loch Killisport 1959 and hms Leopard 62/63.
