A FORMER Stoker 1st class in the Royal Navy who trained in Malvern has appealed for photographs to accompany a book about his life.

Ralph Goodfellow, aged 82 and residing in France, trained at HMS Duke in 1944, which went on to become the Royal Radar Establishment.

HMS Duke was a shore establishment of the Navy and Mr Goodfellow spent just a few weeks there.

He is specifically looking for pictures of the camp’s activities. Mr Goodfellow’s email address is porky2@wanadoo.fr.
