I have been searching for geneology information. My grandfather, Walter Miller also served on this ship during WWII. He died in 1952 and unfortunately my dad, (Walter's son) died in 1988. I have so little connections living in Florida in the US. Thanks for posting this. If anyone remembers Walter Miller, please contact me mkw65@yahoo.com

Hi, Nice to find something on Youtube relating to WW2 HMS Sheffield as my grandfather served as a petty officer on the ship and told me many story's about the sinking of the battleship Scharnhorst and the locating of the Bismark.
