AS members of the HMS Rodney Association, we have tried to trace our old shipmate, Arthur Howarth, who, we believe, lives in the Blackburn area.

He joined the Royal Navy in 1940 and we believe he may have attended the funeral at Lytham in September, last year, of another of our old shipmates, Jack Fuller.

Looking for Arthur are Gerry Burke, of Middleton, Manchester (0161 643 1975), Ginger Hutchinson, of Banks, Southport (01704 20556) and myself, 'Bill' Jackson, of Nelson (01282 694269).

I hope readers can help.

R G JACKSON, 13 Temple Street, Nelson BB9 0TE.
