Walter William "Knocker" White
Royal Navy
from:Ryde, Isle of White
My grandfather Walter William White was in the Navy, and was on the HMS Manchester when it was torpedoed in 1942. He swam to the shore and was imprisoned, I guess in Tunisia having read some of the other accounts.
I was just a few months old when he died in 1970 and so never got to know him. My uncle tells me that he (Walter) told him about what happened to Norman Greaves, so it was very poignant to read that account on the website.
