PO. Arthur Charles Castro
Royal Navy HMS Virago
My grandfather, Arthur Castro served with the Royal Navy during WW2.
He sailed on the HMS Virago.
From what I remember he was a Petty Officer or Chief.
I believe his trade was Stoker.
He immigrated to Canada and ended up living in Halifax, NS.
I'm certain he served in the Royal Canadian Navy on board the HMCS Bonaventure, Canada's lone aircraft carrier.
Not sure of his rank on the Bonaventure but I did hear Chief Engine Room Artificer.
