I believe my grandfather Arthur (Bradshaw) Cooper (nickname 'Skoby') served on hoard the Hermes as a Stoker and survived its sinking in 1942. I would be interested to hear from anyone who knew him.

My grandfather, Tommy Turner was on the ship when it was bombarded. Thankfully he survived the attack but has sadly passed since. My mum said he didn't want to talk about the experience, obviously it was too horrific.

Philip Reginald Israel Raphael was my great-uncle; his name is also recorded in the Naval chapel, Simonstown. I believe he had a family living in Johannesburg, but my Dad, Charles Horne, never contacted them so far as I know. Philip was the younger brother of my Gran, Sarah Martha Louise Horne, nee Raphael

Kenneth Vatcher was from British Harbour, Newfoundland. This was also where my father was from. He and Kenneth knew each other well. My father served in the British Royal Navy in WW2, survived the war and passed away age 95..

My father Joseph Charles Blewitt survived the sinking by swimming off the aft deck below the flight deck. Dad went on to become Lord Mayor of Oxford in 1995.
I have a photo of his shipmates Charles Henry Bolt and John or Vincent Quinn( dont know which one) who unfortunately did not survive. Joe "crossed the bar" to join his shipmates in 2009.
Trying to put his Hermes experience together at the moment. Les at lcb_ox@yahoo.co.uk
