HMS Gambia A.A.M.
A bit of a long shot but I've been sent photos of someone with the initials A.A.M. He was in Class 110 at Royal Arthur which I think would have been in 1941/42. He later served on HMS Gambia.

Can someone identify this ship and where it was taken? I believe it dates from the late 40s or early 50s.
It came from the relative of someone who once served on HMS Gambia (http://hmsgambia.org/)...
