On the first of May 1945 , my brother Ron was fiihing in the Wash , he was 16teen years of age , thay were fishing for cockles , when an American plane come an shot at the fishing boat , the name was
STAGSHEAD, my brother was killed at once , the boat was shot to bits , Bill Dexter the skipper went and got my brother and put him in the small rowing boat thay always had with themthay waited for the tide and come to the fishing fleet in Kings Lynn .
I do have photos but im not very good at this , My father was at sea in the
minesweeper at the time , and had to be brought home .
Ive kept the story short , hoping ths is alright , yours sincerely Ray Pratt
