234063 PO. Sidney Robert Bragg Royal Navy HMS Bonaventure from:Romford, Essex (d. ) My father, Sidney Bragg, was always a joker and full of fun. He was on the Bonaventure from 23rd Dec 1943 until 5th December 1945 and finished as a Petty Officer Radio Mechanic. His fellow sailors knew he was always ready for some fun and decided they would give him a fright by offering to take him down on one of the midget submarines to test it. He was told to sit cross legged in the stern and they proceeded to dive and then those on board the Bonaventure lobbed hand grenades through the water to test it for leaks! He would tell us stories about rigging up wires around the hatches and connecting them to batteries so that they would kill cockroaches. Another story was that he would wedge himself in a corner and eat three breakfasts when it was so rough no-one else was eating! Although it was war of course, my father always said the best days of his life were in the Navy. He died in 2004 aged 89.
