Every time I visit Portsmouth. I always come and pay my respects to you and fellow sailors at the Naval Memorial. I have photos of of with the crew of HMS Fidelity and a photo of you as a young lad. Reading your service records and trying to imagine what it was like before that tradegy on 31st December 1942 off the Islands of Azores. Just makes want to say thank you and for your service to the Royal Navy.
