Wilfred Henry Richards
Royal Navy HMS Anchusa
from:5 High Street, Penzance, Cornwall
(d.16th July 1918)
I have recently discovered postcards written by Wilfred to his wife Elsie (our Grandfather and Grandmother)which indicate he was writing to her weeks after he was killed. Official documents indicate the ship he was torpedoed on (H.M.S. Anchusa) was sunk on 16th July 1918 and yet postcards have dates of August 1918. Has anybody any similar tales about dates?
