248901 PO. Gordon Andrew Lennox Not known Royal Navy HMS Pembroke from:East Lodge Crossbasket, High Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland Gordon Lennox was my Dad. He joined the Royal Navy in 1941 when he was aged 18. He was based in Chatham. His trade was an engine room mechanic. He was on, HMS Royal Arthur, HMS Pembroke, HMS Titania, HMS Pembroke again, HMS Wildfire, HMS St Tudno and HMS Eskimo. He became a Petty Officer on 2nd July 1944. Was discharged from the Royal Navy in 21st May 1946. I don’t know much about his time in the Navy apart from some mention that he went to Holland . He had an accident in July 1942 in which he fractured a toe and was issued a Hurt Certificate. So that’s about all I know of his Navy career. He loved engines all his life and when we went on boats and steamers he loved to show us the engines and explain how they worked. Also when he he taught us to drive a car we had to learn how the engine functioned! He passed away in 1976 aged 52 before we got round to asking him about his war experience.
