Ron Hill Author

Ron Hill was originally from Plymouth. During World War 2, he was the skipper of 'My Girl', ferrying soldiers and ammunition between Weymouth Harbour to the Breakwater Forts guarding the Naval Base at Portland. After the war, Ron remained in Weymouth, running 'My Girl' as a pleasure boat for visitors. 'My Girl' remains in Weymouth Harbour today, still taking holidaymakers out on boat trips. Ron passed away in 1991, shortly after the publication of the first edition of 'Weymouth at War'. He was married to Dolores and they had five children and seven grandchildren.
