Thanks, Ray
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me today
I will be phoning my mum tonight and she will be over the moon with all of the information gained today
I have subsequently found out that Harry Peterson served with the 5th Bn the East Yorkshire Regiment. In 1942 was a POW of the Italians. He was being transferred by ship “Nino Bixio” in the Med the ship was torpedoed by a British sub HMS Turbulent. There were a number of men not found after the ship was hit. Harry’s name is recorded on the Alamein memorial. Oh and he was a boxer in Hull. So my mum childhood story was somewhat true. She was told a relative was a boxer and was a sailor. Only at the time she was only 12 so may have overheard & in her mind it was true it’s just that she git it mixed up.. Thanks everyone on roofs chat, because in less than a day a child’s story from 71 years ago it can be corrected and mum will tonight will hear all about the true story of her uncle Harry.
Thanks 🙏
