AB. Arthur Toynbee Rudderham

Royal Navy

from:HULL, UK

(d.7th August 1944)

Arthur Rudderham would have been my uncle on my mother's side of the family. From vague family accounts, I understand that he drowned in an accident. He was part of a shore party, transferring stores to the ship, when the boat he was in capsized or threw him overboard?. He couldn't swim! He now rests in the Colombo Cemetery in Siri Lanka (Ceylon).

He was 1 of 7 siblings, with 3 brothers. Only 1 survived WW2, Wilfred was killed in action in North Africa on 12th of December 1940 while serving with the 2nd Leicester Regiment. Both have memorials locally in the St Giles Churchyard, Marfleet, Hull, on kerb stones attached to their parents' graves.
