Sig. Harold "Jock" Abbott
Royal Navy HMS Sirius
from:Guildford, Surrey
(d.17th Oct 1943)
Jock Abbott was my grandfather who was killed on HMS Sirius during WW2. I have only recently found out that the story about his death, that my mother, his daughter, told me, was not correct, and I think her mother may have fed it to her, as she was barely 16 at the time of her father's death.
If there are any shipmates of his still alive, I would like to hear their memories of him, so I could gain a little more knowledge about my grandfather, whom I never had the chance to meet. He is listed on the Portsmouth War memorial and I believe he was a Signaller.
