Able Sea. James Caleb Martin

Royal Navy HMS Penelope

from:Silksworth, Sunderland

(d.18th Feb 1944)

James Martin was my uncle and he lost his life whilst serving on HMS Penelope (nicknamed HMS Pepperpot, due to the number of bullet holes etc. in it from previous war skirmishes). When she was supporting the bombardment of the German defences on the Anzio beach-head she was hit by 2 torpedoes from U-Boat U-410 and sunk on 18th of February 1944.
