He was on the guns when the attack happened. The captain of the Cairo, PV McLaughlin, wrote to my parents stating that PO Grice led crew members in fighting a fire on deck despite his serious injuries. He had to be taken below decks where he died of his wounds. Captain McLaughlin said in his letter that if Charlie had lived he would have received an award for his bravery.
