My grandfather served on the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Battler in the Second World War. He was on HMS Battler for the duration of her service in the Second World War between 1942-1945 - notably around the Battle of Salerno, Italy. He was responsible for HMS Battler Flying Operations and I am trying to get his HMS Battler diaries and photos online so that they can be shared with a wider audience.

I am posting photos to Flickr under the username of hmsbattler and publishing other documents and information on a blog at www.hmsbattler.com

I am keen to hear other stories from people who were on or had relatives on HMS Battler in the Second World War.
