Hi William
My uncle Gordon Maurice Holoran was the RM Boy Bugler on the Trinadad, he was killed whilst sheltering below deck when the ship was attacked and sunk.
Somewhere I have a picture of my Uncle as a boy marine of 15. He was 17 when he died. I have kept all the letters he wrote to his mother in 41/42 before they sailed and have the communications from the Admiralty informing my grandmother of his death plus a letter from the ships Captain.
