Pte. James George Knowles

British Army DEMS Royal Artillery

(d.20th April 1941)

James Knowles was loaned to the Navy's DEMS (merchant ship) programme, and was killed while a DEMS gunner on 20th of April 1941. He is listed on the Naval Memorial on Plymouth Hoe. Can anyone add to that meagre detail? They usually went in two-man teams as AA gunners, between February 1940 and September 1941, when any remaining in DEMS were transferred to the RA's Maritime Regts. He may have been lost in the Empire Endurance.
