Gunlayer Robert Alfred "Tungy" Howard

Royal Navy HMS Penelope

from:Portsmouth

My Dad, Robert Howard served aboard HMS Penelope as a gunlayer. One story he used to tell us was of how he had to ditch overboard a misfire, carrying a glowing cordite charge up the ladders and along companionways in order to dump it over the side. Everyone was sent out the way and wished him good luck! Brave man!
