Peter Sydney Dowden
Royal Marines HMS Arthur
from:Plymouth
(d.21st February 1942)
Peter Sydney Dowden was my grandfather and served on HMS Royal Arthur until his death there on 21 February 1942. I was told there was some sort of bombing or bomb accident at the camp and his death was recorded as killed in action. I would be interested if anyone else knows what this incident was.
