504118 F. James Turner Royal Naval Reserve HMS Cambridgeshire During the Lancastria incident of June 17th 1940 HMS Cambridgeshire was involved in the rescue of about a thousand men. My grandfather F.J.Turner (James) was serving on the Cambridgeshire, one of the men he rescued was Lord Inverclyde (I think he was King George VI's cousin) on return to England he presented his rescuer with a round rosewood box full of cigarettes with a silver plaque on the front engraved with the words "To F.J.Turner RNR HMS Cambridgeshire St. Nazaire to Plymouth 17th to 19th June 1940 from a grateful passenger Inverclyde/Scots Guards" Additional Information: | I also have a rosewood box it was presented to my father, I would like to hear from you .
