Stkr. John Williams
Royal Navy HMS Dorsetshire
(d.5th April 1942)
During recent research into my family history, I have discovered the military history of my Great Uncle, John Williams, who was a Stoker Class 1 on-board HMS Dorsetshire; both during the time when it helped sink the Bismarck, and when it was sank by the Japanese in April 1942, when he sadly lost his life with many others. He was just 22 years of age.
I know very little of him other than this but the record books clearly show they all played a major part in such a huge conflict; it would be great to know if he was ever spoken about by survivors from HMS Dorsetshire, or people that knew him.
