World War Two / Re: SS British Chivalry
« on: Tuesday 13 February 18 13:03 GMT (UK) »
My Mothers Brother was a Royal Navy DEM Gunner on the SS Chivalry. Unfortunately one of those machine gunned in the boats. Ron Saunders age 19. My Grandmother had a visit from one of the RN survivors and told he had died after some days. My mother often talks about Ron as they came from a family of 13 and they were of similar age and close. It seems I inherited many of his looks. I was given his Atlantic Star and 39-45 Star plus a general WW2 service medal. Sad he died so young.
