MESSAGES
NICHOLAS & WILLIAM LEADBETTER.. My
grandfather and his two brothers were stokers on Ark Royal during WW2. I
have always thought they were killed when Ark Royal was torpedoed, but all
the books state that only one rating was lost. Can anyone help?
RAYMOND HUGH HOLMES.. I am looking for
information about my father, Raymond Holmes. He served on Ark Royal in
WW2, was possibly born in Kings Lynn, England and would now be in his
80's. He divorced my mother in the 50's.
PHILIP DOUGLAS LEE REASON.. Philip joined
up in 1932 and was in the Spanish Civil War prior to serving as a
rear-gunner in the fleet air arm. He was on board Ark Royal when she was
torpedoed in 1941. He served with 812 Sqn and was grounded in 1942. He
flew aboard the 'stringbags' - swordfish & apparently was awarded the
B.E.M & DSM among other though these were sold. Any information gratefully
received.
