Roger P. Hill
Lieutenant Commander Roger Percival Hill, DSO, DSC, (22 June 1910 – 5 May 2001) was a commander in many famous destroyers of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Hill served in crucial〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.navynews.co.uk/ships/ledbury.asp )〕 theatres of the war, being present in the Arctic convoys, the Mediterranean Campaign and Malta Convoys,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://archive.herefordtimes.com/2003/7/25/31985.html )〕 as well as playing a supporting role aboard HMS ''Jervis'' during the Normandy landings.
Hill's first command, HMS ''Ledbury'' played a part in the success of Operation Pedestal, the convoy to resupply the beleaguered island of Malta. The ''Ledbury'' propped up the crucial oil tanker SS ''Ohio'' after it was hit and successively torpedoed by Axis forces, and nursed it to reach the Grand Harbour, Valletta.
