bill castle Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I agree SIMONJ it should have a new name.

Ships: Royal Arthur, Bicester, Tamar, Cossack(Korea), Lossiemouth, Gorregan (coal burning trawler used as inshore minesweeping, then Dalswinton.

Ganges scrib Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I joined in January 1960. My time at Ganges is so ingrained in my memory that when I retired I decided to write about my 386 days at Shotley Gate. In July 2012 I was fortunate to find myself a publisher who published 'HMS Ganges Days' as an e-book. I purposefully avoided all the 'winging' stuff and tried to produce a book that would rekindle some long forgotten memories whilst attempting to be humorous. It's selling well, so if you want to know more it can be purchaed from Amazon or other e-book web sites for about £6 My name is Peter Broadbent 28 recruitment P/053653 Ex Junior Seaman 2nd Class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
