Help with Any information on British Commonwealth Naval Seaman

Featured Replies

#1

I've recently purchased a wonder piece of history from the family in the UK.  I have digital copies of some of his paperwork, and I'm trying to piece together his history or any information I can come up with.  Problem is, here in the US - it is difficult to get this information.  Any help would be appreciated.  He was in the 766th Flotilla.  He enlisted in 1942 and was discharged in 1946....  

 

His information:

 

Nathaniel “Nobby” Carter

383646

Royal Navy

766th Landing Craft Flotilla

HMS Collingwood

HMS Arethusa

(Normandy)

HMS Victory

 

Thank you.

 

Purchased:

US LF&C MK1 Knife, which the sailor traded for and acquired from a US soldier prior to the invasion of Sicily

All I can add is the scabbard is from an Italian bayonet.

Thank you.  I appreciate that.  I knew it was an Italian bayonet... I was more looking for history on the vet himself (if known).  Thanks again.
