Royal Navy HMS Barnet

from:Canning Town, West Ham, London

(d.5th May 1944)

Herbert Jordan, who was my Great Grandfather on my mothers side, he fought in WW1 and was re-called at the start of WW2 after already doing 20 years service. He served on HMS Ajax, HMS Nile, HMS Rennet, HMS Barnet and HMS Pembroke.

He died after falling into the hold on HMS Pembroke whilst it was docked in Alexandria, Egypt. He was sent home for an operation on an abscess behind his ear which unfortunately went badly and he died on the operating table when my grandmother was just 14.
