Tommy Holmes
Royal Navy HMS Sirius
Tommy Holmes served on HMS Sirius in 1943. He was wounded when the ship was bombed in October of that year. Prior to that he was on board when the Sirius went to Malta, and contacted our eldest brother who was serving with the Army there during the seige. He brought him back to the ship where his messmates really looked after him, and supplied him with plenty of supplies to take back for his mates in camp. Tom ended up in hospital in Alexandrea after the bombing of the Ship. I would be grateful if any old shipmates could get in touch.
