Ernest Connon

Royal Navy HMS Widemouth Bay

from:Aberdeenshire

My grandfather Ernest Connon was from Aberdeenshire, Scotland and joined the Royal Navy in 1939. He was on one of the ships that went to Hiroshima, just after the bomb was dropped. He was also on a ship which was torpedoed off the coast of Iceland and he was taken to Rekjvik for treatment. At some point he crossed the equator. My grandfather was involved in entertainment on the ships he served on - he was reputedly a very good singer - and was even on the BBC world service during the war.

Does anyone remember him?
