256601 Able Sea. Ronald Clarke Royal Navy HMS Calypso from:Attercliffe, Sheffield, Yorkshire (d.21st Feb 1943) Our uncle Ronald Clarke served on HMS Calypso and HMS Active. We know he served in the Middle East and was also on mine clearing duties on land and then returned to be part of the north Atlantic Convoys. We were told our uncle Ron was on the deck of HMS Active when the ship had a direct hit on deck and our uncle Ron was injured when shell fragments penetrated his chest. He eventually returned home to Sheffield and started to recover from his injuries. It was while he was convalescing that he contracted TB. We know he was in Lodge Moor hospital in Sheffield. He is buried in a grave with a Royal Naval headstone in Tinsley Park Cemetry, Darnall, Sheffield.
