Ldg.Stkr. John Norman Angus
Royal Navy HMS Manchester
from:Hampshire
John Norman Angus was my step-uncle. His mother married my Grandfather whose name was Forbes, they lived in Burns Street, Jarrow, Co. Durham. They had one son from that marriage Daniel Forbes who was also killed at Dunkirk in 1940. When my grandfather died my grandmother moved to Lee in London to live with her son William Angus. She came with her son to my father's funeral in 1952. I have just found where my uncle's name is in the Dunkirk town cemetery, his name is on a memorial column, I am going there in August this year to see his name and I will be playing him a couple of tunes on the bagpipes. I was only a toddler when they were both lost, but they have never been forgotten. If any of John's family would like to make contact please do.
