If you haven't already visited the HMS Bulolo page HMS Bulolo - a Communications Ship then I recommend you do so before reading this page. Recently I received an email from David Alexander, whose father (Kenneth Alexander) served as an RAF Radio Operator on HMS Bulolo from 1942 to 1945. During his time on the Bulolo Kenneth took many photographs, which David has kindly sent to me. These photos document HMS Bulolo's war record and give a fascinating insight into what one ship and its company endured during WW2. All these photos are shown below, please click on each image to enlarge it and reveal the information held.

  HMS Bulolo's war record can be read here HMS BOLOLO War Record which has been transcribed from a letter written by the late Sir Henry Markham, Secretary of the Admiralty to Burns Philp & co., Ltd.
