ANNE DAHMER wrote on August 23, 2007 City and State: ELLIOT LAKE ON Unit: Service or Relationship: OTHER Comments: My Dad - Frank Petrie from Bathgate, Scotland - served on the Belfast during the Korean conflict. He was a Stoker and may have been a Petty Officer during his tour or made that rank on leaving (not sure). Currently I am working on a scrapbook on the trip that my husband and I just made to Britain (where I'm also from)where we saw the Belfast, etc and would love to incorporate any photos anyone may have into the book. For some reason I have none and don't think Dad has either, so would truly love to add any to my scrapbook. Dad is also alive and well and living in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada so I'm sure would love me to pass on any messages from crew mates. Keywords: HMS Belfast
