Sub Lt. James Black Bell
Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve HMS Prunella
(d.21st Jun 1940)
My uncle, Sub-Lt James Black Bell was killed because of the torpedoing of HMS Prunella - ex mercantile Cape Howe. It is my understanding that he got off the ship on one of the lifeboats, but that in the storm that came up that night this boat was lost. If anyone has any more information on this event I would be grateful if you could share it with me.
