Hi Chris

Really??? I have been reading through some notes tonight and "alledgedly" my Mums Uncle served on this ship during the 2nd world war...."apparently" he survived the sinking of it although thats family lore !! lol

Of course being a Shefffielder I really should know the history of "our" ships but alas I only know the HMS Sheffield that was sunk in the Falklands War

Hey wonder if ya Dad and my great Uncle worked together... ahh wierd!!

Hi Loz,

Dad was on the Sheffield when involved in sinking of the "Bismarck" May 1941 was your Uncle.

Hi Chris

Well....supposedly ... it was my late father who gave me that information....

I will try to get in touch with an elderly Aunt to see if she can remember or if she knows any family member alive that remembers!
