    27th April 1941

    HARRIS, John H, Supply Chief Petty Officer, P/MX 45066, killed [PORTSMOUTH (MILTON) CEMETERY]

    His ship was HMS Sandwich. He is listed as killed in bombing, I can't see any event involving the minesweeper, so I believe he was killed ashore. Any ideas?

    Regards,

    ADM 104/131 shows place of death as 'Portsmouth'. Like others that have come up this is in contrast to 'At Sea' so I would presume killed ashore in bombing.

    Hi Gents,

    Thanks for all that.

    Yes it looks like he was a victim of the German air raid on Portsmouth.

    Regards,
