Comments: My dad Frederick Charles/William Shaw served on the Belfast and I would like to hear from anyone who knew him or has stories or photos of him. Told us he was on guns and had something to do with ships entertainment but I cannot remember if the entertainment was on the Belfast. We scattered his ashes from her when he died because he was proud to have served on her.

Anyone Who Was A Stoker

Anne Dahmer wrote on 2007-08-23 09:20:12.0

Comments: My Dad - Frank Petrie from Bathgate, Scotland - served on the Belfast during the Korean conflict. He was a Stoker and may have been a Petty Officer during his tour or made that rank on leaving (not sure). Currently I am working on a scrapbook on the trip that my husband and I just made to Britain (where I'm also from)where we saw the Belfast, etc and would love to incorporate any photos anyone may have into the book. For some reason I have none and don't think Dad has either, so would truly love to add any to my scrapbook. Dad is also alive and well and living in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada so I'm sure would love me to pass on any messages from crew mates.
