HMS Cumberland in WW2
« on: Sunday 04 July 10 20:59 BST (UK) »
I have just found out that my (deceased) grandfather Samuel Robert Barnaby served on HMS Cumberland in WW2.  I don't have his service record, but would be interested in any information regarding the HMS Cumberland's service in the war and the kind of lives the crew lead during this time, to give me a flavour of his experience at this time.

Thank you,
Kathy
