This one is interesting Chris. Myself, Billy McGee and Roger Griffiths were working on this a few years ago - Do you know if he was lost from s/s OHIO? I believe he was a Merchant Seamen from 1939 until his death in 1942. I have more on the RA connection but don't want to say at this stage in case I have the wrong man.

Many thanks Chris.

Hugh

all his DC says is drowned at sea

Chris

 

Many thanks Chris - I am pretty sure I have the right man but as he has been commemorated by the CWGC, it serves no purpose to add anymore at least at this stage.

Regards
Hugh
