We’re saddened to hear of the passing of John Barnes, one of Guernsey’s oldest WW2 veterans, who has died aged 104.🕯️
A Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander, John served for 23 years, flying Swordfish torpedo bombers, protecting convoys, and even sinking a German U-boat during the war.
After moving to Guernsey in 1961, he became bursar at Elizabeth College and remained a cherished part of island life.
Rest in peace, John. ❤️
