Stoker Harry O. Brooks

Royal Navy HMS Acheron

(d.17th December 1940)

Harry O. Brooks was my mother's first husband, and what I have to tell is from my late mother, backed up by a search on an Ancestry website. Harry served on HMS Acheron and went down with her off the Isle of Wight on 17th December 1940. Born in Nottinghamshire in December 1915, married in June 1939. His name is on the War Memorial on Portsmouth Sea Front. I was born in 1948, after my mother remarried. Not much to tell of a man I never knew, but I salute him. My father and grandfather served and survived.
