Hi
My father Cyril(Charlie) Ellard was a gunner on Trinidad, he never spoke about it to me, and I have only recently found out following a comment someone made to me about his eligibility for the new medal. I am currently reading the Frank Pearce book, and feel incredibly proud of his bravery and that of all the crew. Would love to hear from anyone who knew him. My father died in 1982. I wish I had known earlier of his experiences, would love to have gone to a reunion or see any photos.
