Bsn. Henry Hopperton
Merchant Navy SS Orama
from:Gravesend, Kent
My Grandfather Harry Hopperton was a Bosun on the Orama. I hope that someone can tell me about my grandad and his story as I know very little. I know he made it out of the pow camp but was very poorly and died of TB soon after release. I had a neighbour Ron Hobbs who amazingly was on the same ship as an officer. I would be grateful for any info at all.
