ERA Jordan
Royal Navy HMS Nigeria
My father served on board HMS Nigeria from 23rd July 1941 to 16th January 1943. He was an ERA at the time of Operation Pedestal, and had just handed over his watch when the torpedo hit (the engine room, I was told) and was climbing a ladder. The man who had just relieved him was killed.
I have some memorabilia, especially from South Carolina. My father, like many, preferred not to talk about WW2 very much.
