AB. Patrick McDermott
Royal Navy HMS Marlborough
from:Newcastle
My Father, Patrick McDermott, forged his date of birth to join the Royal Navy in June 1915. He was on the Marlborough at Jutland and whilst she was getting repairs at Newcastle he met and later married my mother. He ended the war on Q ships as a DEMS gunner who were administered by a shore base called HMS President 111
When he rejoined the RN in July 1940 he now entered his true date of birth. Back came his papers with that crossed out and his WW1 date of entry recorded written in. The navy has such a long memory! Also on his WW2 service certificate shows he had rejoined HMS President 111 and was on SS Rutland as a DEMS gunner. She was sunk by a U boat on 30th of October 1940.
In the First World War he joined Q ships for the action and adventure. In WW2 he rejoined President 111 for the 2 shillings and 6 pence a day extra as our family was in financial difficulties by start of the war.
Able Sea. Patrick McDermott
Royal Navy HMS Marlborough
from:Newcastle
Patrick McDermott was the son of Patrick and Ellen McDermott, the husband of Mary Ethel McDermott of Ryton, Co. Durham Patrick lied about his date of birth to get in the navy in WW1. After his ship, HMS Marlborough was damaged at Jutland he served the rest of the war on Q Ships, and was paid through HMS President III.
When he rejoined in 1940 he recorded his correct date of birth but the navy would not accept that so crossed it out and recorded the false one! He died on SS Rutland sunk by a uboat on 30th of October 1940
