Hi all,

A similar story any many ways to my grandfather Arthur William Fortune, although he had been a regular soldier with the Ox and Bucks since 1930. He ended up a Buff I assume after post Dunkirk reorganisations. I will taking a look at the warrior chapel at Canterbury cathedral this summer where all these mens name are recorded in the " book of life." I have visited the commonwealth war grave in Athens and indeed parascended the wreck site of Eclipse last year dropping flowers with two of my three children. We remembered all on the Eclipse as well as other lost in that tiny stretch of water. I have lots of info around the events of that night that I am more than happy to share.

All the best,

Matthew Fortune.
