Nav.Officer. John Deeley

Royal Navy HMS Dorsetshire

My father, John Deeley, served on HMS Dorsetshire during 1942 as navigating officer, I believe, when she was sunk in the Indian Ocean. He was badly wounded with shrapnel in the leg and one eye but survived and was sent to South Africa to recuperate. I still have his navigation manuals that went with him into the sea - they are very much the worse for wear! Happily, my father survived the war and died peacefully at the age of 70
