Rory Curtis

Dear Warwick
Sorry about the delay in replying.

John Felgate Stevens was Captain of HMS Cleopatra (33) in World War II from August 1942 to July 1943 (when she was torpedoed by the Italian submarine Dandolo on 16 July 1943 and badly damaged).

He later became Vice Admiral Sir John Felgate Stevens.

Best, Rory

Hi Phillip, We have to rely on information from relatives of ex Cleo's. So if you have any photos or information that can be put on the site it would be great thanks.

Hi

My Grandfather served on HMS Cleopatra as a Signaler during the war - His Name Was William Lumley. His Navy Records show he joined the ship in November 1941. I know he was in the far east during the end of the war and arrived in Australia in 1945. Did the Cleopatra Sail to Australia around this time as there seems to be no record of this in his navy records

Best Regards

Melvin

Dear Anita

Hello, My uncle served on HMS Cleopatra and died on the 16th July 1943 when the ship was hit. My father is 83 year of age and would be so pleased if anyone who served on board with his brother and knew him or anything about him. My uncle's name was Percy William Collins and he was a stoker. He was 22 years of age when he died - there is an entry in the site memorial book; my father talks about him often and how kind he was to him. Thank you!

Warwick Franklin

Dear Debbie

Thank you for the message. Do you have any more details about your husband's grandfather including the branch he was in and rate etc... The more information the better really and hopefully we will be able to help you. Does the diary mention anything about his time on Cleo?

Debbie Wright

Hello, did anyone know my husbands grandfather Walter Stewart he was on the C33 HMS Cleopatra in the Malta Convoys, Battle of Sirte and Sicily. I think he worked in the magazine, he survived and passed away in the 60's in an accident. Any info would be gratefully received about what his job would have involved. I already have a bit of a diary that he wrote whilst away but he didnt go into big detail. Thankyou

Warwick Franklin

Dear Carole

Can you give us some more details about your father please. When was he on Cleo, what branch was he and his full name. I'm sure we may be able to help you out.

My dad served on c33 cleopatra and we have recently realised how much he did. We have many photos and a letter authored by someone called raymond. We beleive it to be a form of diary and may have been asked for it to be passed on but never was. We'd love to share these and would love to reunite the letter with Raymonds family if it was posible. Any ideas???

Cathy Stammer

Warwick Franklin

Dear Steve

Good to hear from you again. I think the best way for you to forward them to me is to e-mail them to me with a caption for each one. Think it should work. The association is very grateful to you for doing this and the photo's will be a great record for us. I will forward Aubrey's e-mail address to you.

Kindest regards

Warwick

Warwick Franklin

Dear "Dennis", we now know for certain that the ship's bell is at RNAS Yeovilton. You must know John (Henry) Cooper who was also a seacat maintainer on the Cleo at the same time as you were? He is a member of the association. Why don't you join the association yourself just let me know if you are interested.

Dear Slinger, Thanks for the message. Were you a LS(S) onboard at the time? If you were, then I relieved you onboard after the ship returned from the Far East. Please scan it and could you send it to my e-mail address. Would you also like to join the association Slinger?

Hi All,
My family have recently been going through some of my Grandad's old photos and documents. He served on HMS Cleopatra during the second world war as a Stoker. His name was Alf Rhodes, is there anyone who remembers him or has pictures of him? It would be great to be able to put more of a story to his photos too.

Here's hoping!

To Paul Brown:

Dear Paul

Thank you very much for downloading the photographs of your father in law Ernie Bell. It is always great to receive WW2 photo's of personnel who were serving on Cleo at that time. I published your e-mail in the January newsletter but as yet, no one has said that they knew him. Here's hoping.

Best regards

Warwick Franklin
Honorary Secretary

Warwick Franklin

Dear Paul

Thanks for the message. I was hoping you might want to join the association after I sent you all the bumph etc.. Obviously the offer is still open. We need to have a blitz on recruiting ex frigate Cleo's because believe it or not, we still have more cruiser that frigate members. Many of our more senior members are now in their late 80's! At only £6 per year, with a 22 page newsletter thrown in every 3 months, its is definately worth it.

Best regards

Paul Harding

Merry Christmas All
I have recently been going through my old photo albums and came across quite a few of the Cleo, they bring back some good memories, so loaded some to the website. I was one of a number of the 4th Frigate Squadron who was drafted to the Submarine Service on our return to the UK in 1978, king regards, Paul

I have in my possession the ship's bell for
HMS CLEOPATRA, dated 1966. Would this be of any interest to the Association?

Dear Lancelot

I have passed your message on to Commander Tony Rowe.

Warwick Franklin

Dear Paul

I will forward your message to all our members in the January 2010 newsletter. Most of our older members are not on the internet. I know that one of our members called Roy Dummer who was a stoker, served onboard the same time as your father in law and could possibly have known him. In the meantime, those snapshots would be much appreciated if they were displayed on our website.

Mr Paul M Brown

Hello My Father in Law Ernie Bell ( Dinger)he was a stoker, ending up a Chief Petty officer served on the Cleopatra from 1942 till 1945, I have some pictures taken off Malta whilst under attack from the Lufftwafer, showing bombs hitting the water along side ! amazing for someone in mortal danger calmly taking snap shots, he was on board when they were torpedoed, and went to Philadelphia with the ship.Does any one remember Dinger Bell the Stoker?

Lancelo Wright

Please relay to: Commander Tony Rowe, Cdr., RN-ret.

"Hello Captain, it has been 20 years since we last chatted. You asked me to have go at drawing the Cleo, you were to assume command of."

Best Respect,

Lancelot Wright

Tony Rowe

Brilliant - this was a wonderful inspiration which has been executed with elan and dash as I would have expected from Old CLEOs.

I am sure that this will give a huge boost to the interest in the Association.
Thank you all who made it possible
