Cmdr(E) Charles Cunningham Jones

Royal Navy HMS Forfar

from:Waterloo, Lancashire

(d.2nd Dec 1940)

Cmdr (E) Charles Cunningham Jones was my maternal grandfather. I believe he joined HMS Forfar when new or nearly new and then stayed with her, volunteering to stay during hostilities, though he was old enough to have declined. He died before I was born, but I was told by his widow that he was a jovial character, and generally popular. In those desperate days, he evidently knew his chances of survival were poor as he travelled with little more than he stood up in, even leaving his pocket watch behind for his wife to find.
