My father served throughout world war two in the Royal Navy, he died in 1990 and although he did not talk very much about his time in the service I do recall him mentioning HMS Dido. Does the association hold information on crew members for World War Two. I am currently checking with a number of other agencies. Best regards

I am trying to purchase an HMS Dido pin for my friend Robert Freson here in Maine who served aboard her during WWII. Is there a way the association can sell me a pin and perhaps a member would mail it to me in the United States? Thank you.

Just remembering after passing out of Raleigh I was flown alone to Singapore to join Dido as JS2. I think to replace someone - don’t remember being told. All a bit of a wake up call. Seems a long time ago now, and it was.
