Hi,
I read your e-mail from George Nigel Tidbury, dated 28 April 2003.
I believe Mr Tidbury is looking for information on HMS Voltaire and the men who served on her.
My father, James Reilly, served on HMS Voltaire from 1939 until it was destroyed in 1941. He joined the RNVR in early 1939 and was among the first to be called up for active service when war broke out. He was badly wounded by shrapnel when Voltaire went down, but was lucky enough to survive the experience.
He spent the years between 1941 and 1945 in various German POW camps - Lambsdorf is one camp that comes to mind. I am happy to say that my father is still very much with us. He is 83 years old now and living in Dundee, Scotland.
I am sure he would be happy to correspond with Mr Tidbury if you could arrange an exchange of addresses.Congratulations on your superb web site - I found it very interesting.
Best Regards,
Roderick Reilly
Dear Roderick,
Thank you for your E-Mail and your kind comments about AHOY. It is a combined effort, in Atlanta Georgia, my friend Terry Kearns turns all my writing into the site that shows itself to the world. We both appreciate the trouble you have taken to provide details about Voltaire.
I have not kept Nigel's address unfortunately, I am sure he would have been delighted to contact your Dad, it is wonderful that he is still able to recall his service in HMS Voltaire, plus his time as a POW. If he wished to share his story of the action which resulted in his ship sinking, and his subsequent experience as a prisoner in Germany, he could give it to you, and you could pass it on to us, we would add it all to my piece about this action. It would be wonderful to record your Dad's story, and share it with the world on AHOY. So we look forward to being able to hear all about your father's no doubt harrowing experiences.
Again our thanks for your message, it is mail such as your one Roderick, that makes the internet so exciting and such a great forum.
With kindest regards and best wishes from both America and Australia.
Terry and Mac.
