Ronald John Butler
Royal Navy HMS Mauritius
from:Forestgate
My grandad Ron Butler was on HMS Mauritius during World War 2. I loved hearing his stories. He told me a story that he snuck up on deck for a crafty cigarette and when he came back his bunk had been bombed, the cigarette saved his life. He promptly lost most of his hair due to the shock. I lost my grandad in 1999 aged just 73. So much love and respect for this man.
