WE KNOW THAT HE SERVICE ON A SHIP CALLED HMS BARFORD WHICH WE THINK IT SAW SERVICE IN MALTA. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT SAILOR WAS KILLED ACCIDENTLY WHILE CLEANING THE A A GUN IN 1943. WE KNOW OF ANOTHER SAILOR THAT SERVICE ON THE SAME SHIP HIS NAME WAS JOHNNY BURNS. BETWEEN JULY 1944 AND NOVEMBER 1946 WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIS SERVICE RECORD. WE KNOW THAT HIS SKIPPER WAS ROUSE. FROM 1944 HMS ST ANGELO UNTIL HE LEFT THE NAVY IN 1946 WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE PACIFFIC WAR AND WHAT SHIPS HE WAS ON AND WHAT HE DID OUT THERE.
