I have been sorting through my fathers bits and pieces and have found a photo of him and several other officers who were on board HMS Whelp during the war. All are wearing tropical gear and I think the photo was taken about 1944 in Australia when they were on respite.

There are no names on the photo, but i would love to send copies to the relatives of any of those officers. Suggestion as to how I could achieve contact with possible rellies?

I see that Prince Phillip was a crew member, perhaps you could give him a ring
