Alan, If you can let me have Stan's son's e-mail address I shall try to send him a photo which may have his Dad on it.

Is there anyone out there who was serving on our ship when she twice visited Bootle(Liverpool) about three years apart about late 1960's, early 70's. I went on board and was treated like royalty. Knowing the tradition of the Captain presenting the chief citizen(Mayor) with the ship's crest and so thinking that Bootle had two of these, I wrote to the chief exec. and asked if they would let me have one. The answer was a curt NO. Years earlier in my business career I often did business with the Chief Exec of the time(adifferent one) and should have asked then. It would have been no trouble, so I don't have one either. They are fairly expensive.

Yes, I was on the ship at the same time as Stan Whiteley but I don't recall his name but if I saw an old photo I'msure I would recognise him.The wiremen were on the mess Immediately above the communication ratings so wherever we went we had to go through their mess. If I can help his son, please let me know.
Thanks for all the responses to my football message especially Jim. Looks like Keane(not popular our way) is getting things right.

Can I help Alan Jones for his neighbour Stan Whiteley's son. I was on the ship at the same time as Stan and knew the wiremen.For a replica ship's crest two avenues to try are: Navy News(W.H.Smith's) used to have adverts for these but I haven't seena copy for ten years. I am reliably informed that if you contact The Curator, Royal Navy Museumn Portsmouth PO1 3LJ he will advise best method to access the required source. Best wishes.

Just got back from the match and was pleased with the result. It all turned pearshape when the changes were made for Sunderland. Hope its a different story when the new players to the squad are fit and up to speed.
I knew more of the Liverpool players names than I did of the new look Sunderland squad.
Well done Liverpool and best of luck in the return match with Standard Liege.
Will be up at the crack of dawn to drive up to Aviemore.

Note sure where you would get a ships crest for the Undaunted, but there are sites on the internet that offer to supply them. The image in the attachment is courtesy of Alan Benn
Best of luck to your team on Saturday Keith. I am delaying my departure to Aviemore until early Sunday morning so that I can watch the Sunderland v Liverpool match. I only hope that Liverpool are still knackered off the match against Standard Liege

Hi,all...i came across this photo of my next door neighbour STAN WHITELEY, it is taken at the 2005 Blackpool reunion shortly before his death. He served in H.M.S Undaunted 1943-46 as an electrician (wireman L), all his navy mementoes (medals,photos etc.) were given to his son michael who lives in Australia, but he cannot obtain a ships crest, can anyone help me to obtain one for him ?....thanx

Best wishes to all Undaunted football supporters. May we all enjoy a successful season.

Was bosuns mate to start with. still remember my first day in the corner of the bridge answering the phones from the different parts of ship as they got ready for sea, scarry. My sea daddy and Q.M. was a guy called L/sea Hudson uw1. another name was Lmem Pinder who got landed with the juniors mess, he must have upset someone.

Hi Ron - Welcome you are too. I don't think any of us knew about the connection with your Sea Cadet place and our favourite "Old Girl"
I wonder how THAT particular connection was made?
Seeing as just about all of us on this site share the same love for the Undaunted I reckon everyone else will feel a bit pleased to know about your connection with us
Good of you to write and let us know
All the best mate

hi there nice to see people from the name sake of my old cadet unit in calgary "RCSCC UNDAUNTED #22" named after HMS UNDAUNTED


Yours Aye
