Albert J. Dorrington
Royal Navy HMS Dorsetshire

I don't know much apart from my grandfather Jack Dorrington was aboard HMS Dorsetshire when she sank and was lucky to survive allbeit with injuries. He didn't speak of his time in the navy and with him gone now, myself and my brother would like to try and find out about his time. The problem is we think he joined the navy when he was under the legal age and gave false information so it's proving difficult to trace him.
