John James Lynch
HMHS Asturias
from:Manchester
My grandfather John Lynch was a male nurse, a tall one at that 6ft 5inch, on HMHS Asturias when it was torpedoed by a U boat 20th March 1917. He was in the water for some time and apparently his hair went white in this period.
He later moved from Manchester to Buxton, Derbyshire due to the benefits of the spa water. Hence I am here as dad met my mother and married during WW2.
