The photos below (frey background) have been
contributed to the site by Matthew Palmer, whose grandfather Des Jones
served on HMS Sirius 1942 - 1946. A number of the photos also came
from the collection of James Robinson, whose father Lesley Robinson was
a crew member on Sirius. Here is a copy of the message we received
from Matthew.
My
grandfather served onboard Sirius from 1942-1946 as leading
stoker. Since i have started looking in to my grandfathers past i have
met a chap called Charlie Stretch who was a wireless operator on Sirius
. He then put me in touch with a marine from Sirius who new my
grandfather that well he broke his nose boxing. I see Charlie quite
often and get emails from Pat Smith (marine) quite often as he lives in
Florida. I even
got an email last week from Australia from a chap called Jimmy Green who
served on Sirius. There
is a chap from Huddersfield as well who sent me quite a selection of
pictures of his father and the crew of Sirius. His name was James
Robinson and hid father name was Lesley Robinson. This was great because
the pictures he sent me had my grandfather on them and the pictures i
had, had his father on them. On one of the pictures my grandfather Des
Jones is standing right next to Lesley. Contact
