Ord.Sea. Stanley Jones
Royal Navy HMS Drake
from:Manchester
Stan Jones was my dad. He joined HMS Raleigh on 30th of June 1943 until 7th of September then onto Drake until 10th of April 1944 when he was discharged as being medically unfit for naval service.
He was admitted to the Royal Naval Hospital in Plymouth in December 1943 due to pneumonia. He was transferred to Royal Naval Hospital Maristow after four days, where he remained until Feb 1944 when he was moved back to Plymouth. He was diagnosed with TB, and was sent to Baguley Sanatorium in Manchester in March 1944.
He said that the damp conditions in the barracks gave him the illness.
