L/Cpl. John Waterfield
Royal Marines Millitary Police
from:Leicester
My granddad, Jack Waterfield was a volunteer and joined the Royal Marines in 1940. He became a Military Policeman and spent 2 years of his 5 years service on HMS Auora (1941,1942,1943) having first joined the ship in the UK. He then went to the Med and served as batman to Kenneth Moore. I recall he mentioned the big bangs from the guns when they saw action, other than that I know little else about his war exploits.
