| Dear Robert Many thanks for the photo of your uncle ERA Desmond MacCauley and well done for being the first to take advantage of the facility for sending photos on the Forum page. In fact we have already received this photo (I thought it was sent by you) and it has been included in MINEFIELD, the pictorial tribute to those who died in the two ships - published November 26th 2005. |

| Eric was my Uncle that I never met and my father talked of him often. I have just found this site and I thank you for Keeping the spirit of the Neptune and Eric alive.

Neptune & Battle of River Plate |
from: John McGregor, 9 Dec 2005, 06:35 |
| Dear Romulo I saw your previous message but didn't know the full answer. According to Churchill's "The gathering storm" page 421, Neptune was ordered towards Montevideo but hadn't got there when the Battle of the River Plate took place on December 13th. I understand she re-fuelled in Rio de Janiero. On the date you asked about (Dec 8th 1939) Neptune was about 2500 miles away so couldn't have been over-flown by a Brazilian aircraft. John McGregor |
Neptune in Brazil |
from: Romulo Figueiredo, 7 Dec 2005, 23:28 |
| Dear Sir, I am a Brazilian Air Force retired officer and a researcher on aviation history. Some time ago I sent a complete message via The Neptune Association forum at http://www.hmsneptune.com/forum, looking for some information about an eventual HMS Neptune approach to the Brazilian coast in the WW II, specifically on the Graf Spee hunting in December of 1939. Could you help me in finding any report about a Brazilian plane overflying that vessel or tell me where it was on 08 Dec 1939? Best regards, Romulo Peixoto Figueiredo Rio de Janeiro - Brazil |

| Dear Alan Many thanks for your moving message. Yes Albert Cooke was one of the Kandahar casualties dying on 20 Dec 1941. The Neptune Assocoiation represents both Neptune and Kandahar and the Memorial built at Alrewas remembers the casualties of both ships. I will be in touch by e-mail with further details. |
HMS Kandahar - Albert Edward Cooke (Dickie) - Able Seaman. |
from: Alan Pallett, 28 Nov 2005, 16:41 |
| Dear Mr McGregor, I was adopted 10 days after birth and whilst i always knew i was adopted i made no attempt to trace my natural parents until Christmas 2004. I traced my mother, Grace Evelyn Cooke, who is now 79 years old and lives in a small village in Norfolk called Nordelph. We have been writing to one another for nearly a year now. In one of her letters she told me that her eldest brother "Dickie" had been killed in the war when he was 18. She was only 15 at the time and I can tell that the loss of her brother was a very traumatic event in her life and pain and sadness are still evident. She wrote that "Dickie" had trained at HMS Ganges but I had no other information and as you can imagine I did not want to ask further questions in case I caused my newly found mum some distress. I decided to trace my uncle myself and came across your website for HMS Neptune, which gave me the details of the sad events of the 19th/20th December 1941. I have not found an association for HMS Kandahar and would ask if one exists? or does the Neptune Association cover both ships because of their unique and tragic association. My mother also told me that a Memorial for "Dickie" had been errected at his school (Elmwood Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey), but when I made enquiries I was told that no one remembered the site of the Memorial and the school had been almost destroyed by fire in 1988. This saddened me because it is so important that all those lost in the war should be remembered. I was so pleased to read about the Memorial to the ships companies of HMS Neptune and HMS Kandahar that has been built at the National Memorial Arboretum at Burton on Trent in July this year. Whilst I have only just found out about the Memorial during my trace I will be visiting it and pay my respects to "Dickie" and his comrades. I would like to contact any survivors who knew "Dickie" and could tell me about him as a person. I hope you can help. Alan Pallett. 01803-556597 Email: allanpallett@tiscali.co.uk |

William Griffiths able bodied seaman |
from: Margaret Grace, 9 Nov 2005, 11:42 |
| Recently I have come across this website and have found the name of William Griffiths able bodied seaman. I believe I am his neice. I have several photographs of him in uniform which if it is possible I would like to post on your website. He came from Liverpool and was aged 22 when he died. His sister, my mother, died in 2000 and all she ever wanted was for him to be remembered. I have read all that was put on the website and I am very moved and proud, as my mother would have been. I believe he also served on the HMS Ghurka ... he was sunk before but I do not know for sure whether it was the Ghurka or not...... If only my Mum could have seen his name on the Roll of Honour and known that a memorial to all the men of the Neptune was finally erected. |

Was it known to the navy that there was a minefield in this location? |
from: John McGregor, 25 Oct 2005, 22:43 |
Dear Michael All the official accounts say that "Force K ran into an unexpected minefield at a depth of water and distance from land that made it totally unexpected". I have spent 3 years trying to make sense of this statement. The official wreck position for Neptune is 20 miles north of Tripoli but I think she is much closer. The massive minefield (1800 mines) was laid by the Italians in May and June 1941. It stretched from 3 to 13 miles from the Libyan coast and I reckon Neptune struck about 12 miles from land. We lost the submarine Undaunted on May 13th and then two more submarines (P32 and P33) in August 1941. After that the area was left well alone until December 1941 when Force K was trapped. Whether or not Neptune's Captain had been fully briefed about the full extent of the minefield has been successfully obscured. I am quite sure that the higher command of the Navy in the Med knew the minefield was there but whether the full detail was known is questionable. John McGregor |

Cyril Wright, Leading Seaman |
from: Christine Carkeek, 12 Oct 2005, 12:48 |
| Hello I am great niece of Cyril Wright, Leading Seaman of HMS Neptune. My late father (who passed away on 26th August 2005) Graham (Peter) Carkeek who served on HMS Achilles, and myself, was very active in the commemoration of Neptune Day for many years, celebrated at Taita RSA, Wellington, NZ. My late Auntie Lorna Smith (sister of Cyril) attended proudly every year wearing the 'Mother's Medal'. My Dad was instrumental in orgnaising the celebrations in Christchurch when Norm and Irene came to NZ. When Dad and I travelled to the UK in 1995 for the 50th Anniversary of VJ Day we stayed with Norm and Irene. We arrived in Pudsey staying in a B&B. We rang Norm the next morning, he arrived and insisted we get in the car and come and stay at his home. How wonderful! The boys went to the local RSA and Irene and I watched the video of their NZ tour consuming most of a bottle of Irish Mist liquor which they had looked forward to taking the top off themsleves! What a superb stay and a couple of wonderful hosts! We had heard Irene passed away and only tonight through the website have learned of Norm's passing. I remember his humility, sense of humour, and zest for life, albeit Norm didn't seem to recognise being the only survivor of something so historic, poignant to so many, and so special. Dad would've been very sad, as I am, to learn of Norm's passing and offer my condolences. I will look forward to any response. Most sincerely yours, Christine Carkeek |

A hat from HMS Neptune |
from: Teri Florman, 1 Sep 2005, 06:59 |
| I am not a family member of anyone on the Neptune, but I am an interested party. I am employed at the Salvation Army in USA and have recently come across a hat the was from the HMS Neptune. I am a history buff, and instantly Knew that this hat had to have some historical significance due to the age etc. I have been researching information on your sight, and would like to know more. The name in the hat is M. Pocula. I did not find this name in your roll of honor so my guess is this hat is from a seaman before the sinking. I am very interested to find more out if possible and/or information on where else to contact. I appreciate your help. Teri |

I was the first boy born (1950) after his death and I was given his name to keep his memory alive in the family. My father never knew what really happened to his uncle, except that his ship had been sunk in the Med, until now: I am going to give my Dad this information today. It has been quite emotional to read the first hand account of Norman Walton and I thank you very much for all this immense amount of information. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further info. Best regards Alex T.D MacDonald |

Midshipman Edward Robinson |
from: John McGregor, 14 Jul 2005, 22:29 |
| Dear Carl and Sarah I was so glad we had a brief moment to speak last Saturday. Yes I would love to see an copy of Eric Robinson's story. As a submariner, I know about the amazing exploits of the submarines going up the Dardanelles in 1915, and knew that E15 went aground and later that we damaged it severely to prevent it falling into Turkish hands. I didn't know how it had been achieved and that it was the work of Eric Robinson. In the classic book "By Guess and by God" it states that "E15 ran aground near the Kephez minefield inside the entrance to the Dardenelles and was later destroyed by an expedition in two picket boats from the battleshios Majestic and Triumph." Did the other picket boat leader also get a VC? If you write about Eric, I think you ought to include what happened to his sons. I enclose several photos of the Dedication service. My best regards John McG |

P.O James Carthy |
from: Brendan Walsh, 21 May 2005, 03:45 |
| Having just learned of your Association through the obitury coloumns of the international edition of the Daily Telegraph (sad death of Mr. Walton) I would like to send you the following information about P.O James Carthy. He was my mother's brother (my uncle) and when he enlisted, the recruiting officer neglected to put "Mc" before his name. This omission has been carried through to the memorial in Plymouth. Another small error is his place of birth. Although the address is generally correct, his county of birth is Meath (I was born in the same house!) It is the Post Office in Garristown that is in Co.Dublin. Sorry if this letter is "picky" but thought you might like to know. On a more positive note you may be interested to know that I have his campaign medals which have been passed down to me. These are: The Africa Star,The Atlantic Star,The 1939-1945 Star and the War Medal-all packed in a small cardboard box together with a note from the Secretary of the Admiralty.If you have any information about his previous postings I would be grateful if you could let me know. It is good to know that the crew of the Neptune are remembered through your organisation and I'm glad to have found it on the Net. Yours Cordially - Brendan |

Lieutenant James Knowles |
from: John McGregor, 18 May 2005, 19:55 |
| Dear Olivia How very good to hear from you. The first thing I need is your address and Tel no and I will then send you the newsletter and other information. We are unveiling a memorial to all the 836 who died in Neptune and Kandahar at the National Arboretum in Alrewas on July 9th. Lieutenant (E) James M Knowles is how your mother in law's first husband's name will appear. My mother also married again in 1952 when she had given up hope of my father being released from some obscure POW camp. We are having a members meeting on Plymouth Hoe next Sunday 22nd May in conjunction with the Gloucester Association - a similar cruiser to Neptune that sank with 714 casualties. Their POW's ended up in a Stalag Luft camp in Poland and 41 survived a 800 mile forced march in front of the advancing Russian army to the Western zone of Germany, being released by the Americans. So no, I don't know what happened to the Neptune POW's who I believe were taken (100 according to an Italian report). I have the names of 10 of the 14 men on the Carley float with Norman Walton. Also the names of 10 Neptunes who are buried in named graves in Libya. Relatives were never told this. James Knowles' name wasn't amongst them, but another Engineer Officer - Donald Wilson is buried in Tobruk. The more I get into this tragedy the weirder it becomes. Do tell me your father's name. Was he near Malta at the time of the Neptune tragedy and if so what does he remember of it? John McGregor (son of Paymaster Commander Jack McGregor) |
Jimmy Knowles |
from: Olivia Clark, 16 May 2005, 14:10 |
| My mother in law is living with us now but her first husband, Jimmy Knowles, was killed on Neptune. I think he is listed as Lt IM Knowles. Is any more known about the other men who are not mentioned in Norman Walton’s account? It was reading his obituary in The Times that drew my attention to your association. I also have my father who served in the Royal Navy throughout the war and is still alive today. he was sunk 3 times, once in Malta, and once in Norway. He never talked much about it all but it has affected him greatly to have lost so many friends. I feel a tremendous sense of gratitude to all these men. From Olivia Clark |

The obituary of the one survivor was in the Daily Telegraph today. I know Deal well and play golf at the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club. It is good news that you have a photo of him. Can you get a copy to me quickly? We are publishing a Pictorial Tribute to those who died and you may just be in time for him to be included.

At the time of his death the family lived at 16 Circular Road, Betteshanger Colliery, Deal, Kent. Davey enrolled in The Royal Marines School of Music in Deal at the age of 15 where he was taught the violin, trombone and trumpet. He was 21 when HMS Neptune was lost. I was born on 3-12-43 in my grandmother's house in Betteshanger and given the name David Dick in his memory. My father who was serving in the Royal Engineers made a wall plaque incorporating his cap badge, which remained on the wall of our house above his colour photograph until my mother's death in 1999. |

If you had a Neptune powder compact your Dad's mother or female relative must have been close. How infuriating to get it stolen. If you are interested in history, according to every history book written on the Neptune tragedy says words to the effect that "Neptune ran into a minefield about 20 miles to the east of Tripoli at a depth of water and distance from land which made it totally unexpected." I have found that virtually every word is untrue. You can find the membership application on the website under "Membership". I will be away for 5 days from Thursday but if you gove me your address I will send some details.
