Kenneth Hodcroft

Royal Navy HMS Aurora

from:Newcastle Upon Tyne

My Granddad, Kenneth Hodcroft, fought on HMS Aurora during WW2 in the Med. We don't know much but he always said he could remember the screams of his friends trapped in the boiler room when the ship got torpedoed. He had to be dragged away by other crew as he was trying to wedge open the door but it was bent inwards so he couldn't. He then was rescued. He sadly died a while ago but I thought his bravery should be recorded here and wondered if anyone remembers being with him on HMS Aurora.
