Sea. William Dearden MV Torrent (d.6th Apr 1941) My uncle William Dearden served briefly on HMS Glendower in October/November 1940. Sadly, he was killed in action on 6th April 1941 whilst serving on the MV Torrent, which was engaged in mine-hunting duties near Falmouth. A mine detonated, killing most on board. Fortunately, his body was recovered and he is buried in Bardsley Christ Church graveyard. He was 20 years old. His grave was recently acknowledged by the CWGC, and a plaque is to be placed outside the church to recognise the grave as an official war grave.

John Bartholomew Lawrence "Lofty" Hennessey HMS Glendower I came across two photos of my father, John Hennessey, wearing the cap tally HMS Glendower. I don't know anything about what my father did during the war other than he served in the Royal Navy.
In the group of five he is centre back row. In the larger group, he is third from the right front row.
Any light you can shed on these would be most appreciated, even more so if a relative of one of the other members of the groups recognises somebody.
Many thanks for your help.

AB. Leonard Thomas Pardoe HMS Flycatcher Len Pardoe born 6th of May 1924 was from Quarry Bank, Staffordshire, a Black Country lad.
He joined the Navy in November 1942 serving on HMS Drake and because of the practice of filling the ranks with people from a wide range of areas, the first couple of weeks was spent trying to understand what the other ratings were saying, due to all the diverse accents.
At the wars' end he was in Australia with Mobile Operational Naval Air Base, so didn't return home until late 1946, having circumnavigated the globe. He later became a newspaper cartoonist in Birmingham.
