I've stumbled upon some photographs online of the NZ Navy vessel my Grandad was on during his time in the Navy. Say hello to the HMNZS Otago.
I grew up listening to tales of his time on board and these photos have brought it to life. I can't even put into words how much I want to listen to his stories all over again, and write some of them down. Although I have heard all of the tales a million times, I recently realised I didn't ever sit Grandad down and learn more about his time in the Navy. I couldn't even tell you what he did or what rank he was when he left.
He looked damn good in uniform I can tell you that much.
