PO Thomas William Llewellyn

Royal Navy

Thomas William Llewllyn was born in East Stonehouse, Devon on 14th May 1913. He either joined the Royal Navy, or he was seconded from the Merchant Navy at the start of the war. He was in the Merchant Navy at some stage before the war, hence the O.N. at the start of his RN number. He was demobbed in 1946 and died in 1996 in New Zealand.

We know he was in Scapa Flow in 1939 when HMS Royal Oak was sunk by a German U-boat, and he was in Portland in 1943-44, then in Gibraltar in 1945-46. I don't know any of the ships he was on, I think they may have been supply ships. He was also torpedoed and spent 17 days in a life boat and wash up somewhere on the coast of Ireland (probably in 1940-42). Does anyone remember him or have any information?
