WILLIAM HENRY
ROGERS... My grandfather was serving on the HMS Royal Oak when it was
torpedoed. He said he was in freezing water for nearly three hours. He
also said that the men had been paid that day and there was money floating
past them all, but they did not retrieve it as they were too busy trying
to stay alive! His name was William Henry Rogers and his name does not
seem to be on the survivor's list.
