Sub/Lt. Alfred Edward Lines

Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve HMS Dorsetshire

from:Portsmouth

My father, the late Alfred Edward Lines (died 1991 in Scotland aged 70), was serving on HMS Dorsetshire when she was bombed, by the Japanese, on Easter Day 1942. He only survived because he was on his way to the sick bay instead of being in the engine room. He was in the water for two days before being taken to Nairobi. He never spoke about his war experiences so reading stories of other survivors has helped me piece together his war service. I am grateful to the Association for 'remembering'.
