On the right, Vic Sutherland. Chief Electrician
4th from the right, is I think, CGI Marshall. But I have been wrong many times before!
the “two star” Chief Tel. looks a bit like Granny Thompson to me but I would’nt bet on it.

Hi Albie… Re the “two star”C/Tel Granny Thompson……from memory…which is of course
fallible nowadays… he was a “W/T 1 Higher”.this was under the “öld system” before we had the
“Ïnstructor” designation…(you can remember that)..
Again, if my memory serves me correctly, Granny was a L/Tel on HMS Cossack and was in
the Boarding Party of the Ältmark”in the Norwegian Fiord that freed all the Merchant Seamen
that had been captured by the “Graf Spee”
I can remember being in PCO Philomel with Casey Bond and again I think Bluey Gilmour on Bellona
