MidShp. Reginald Tomlinson MID
Royal Navy HMS Birmingham
from:Lincolnshire
During his service on the ship, they where laying mines out into the sea. When this was happening the captain was shooting at them, as they exploded it made some of the mines get closer to the ship. What happened was that a mine hit the side of the ship but it did not explode, due to my great Uncle Reginald being the black smith his job was to deactivate mines, bombs and shells. What he did was that he jumped into the sea and deactivated it due to this he was Mentioned in Dispatches). Due to him doing this it caused serve problems with his chest and at which he died within the 1970s. If you know of my great uncle Midshipman Reginald Tomlinson then please contact me.
