Frank Chapman

Royal Navy HMS Electra

(d.27th Feb 1942)

My Mother's first husband went down in the Battle of Java with HMS Electra. His name was Frank Chapman - Able Seaman. We understand that he was in the torpedo room at the time of the battle and that he was probably killed instantly. He was only 21 and he left behind him a loving wife and a child of 12 months.

My sister is now 63 and would love to hear anything aobut the Electra. We also know of the niece of the Captain of HMS Electra.

If anyone has any information to add, we would love to hear from you. Are any survivors of HMS Electra still alive? It would be great to hear from them.
