Stompie Williams

I was the Signalman (Bunter) on watch, who sent out the new “screen orders” to the fleet. Most of you remember me as Stompie Williams. I turned 21 years on the 18th February 1982.

I joined the Dept of Foreign Affairs, now the Dept of International Relations and Cooperation, and am presently serving at the South African Embassy in Nouakchott, Mauritania.

Kind regards
