Able Sea. Bernard Hughes Barr
Royal Navy HMS Heythrop
from:Scotland
My uncle Barney, Bernard Barr joined the navy in 1939 aged 17. His first ship was HMS Heythrop which was sunk by a torpedo from U652 on the 20th of Mar 1942 in the Mediterranean. Barney was briefly on HMS Sirius and then HMS Mauritius through to the end of the war. He's still going strong at 97 years and has told me many a good story.
