Chatham - February 1942
Dear all
I wonder if someone can help me with an issue close to my heart. I had tried to research this myself but I'm afraid I have run out of ideas. My grandfather was invalided out of the RN. From my recollection of conversations this was due to his vessel being hit by a mine. But it could equally have been the result of an air raid. Certainly he received shrapnel injuries. There are two dates within his service record: 25 February 1942 and 30 March 1942. At the time he was serving with HMS Pembroke I based in Chatham and his record suggests that he went to the RN Hospital Chatham for surgery. I therefore assume that the incident took place in the vicinity of Chatham in or around February 1942. Has anyone any record of any incident which could account for his injuries or any further avenues of exploration for me to research? Regards James
