Gnr. Thomas McKenna Ritchie

Royal Navy HMS Biter

from:Glasgow

My father, Thomas Ritchie and grandfather Colin Ritchie, were both crewmen on S.S. Athenia when she was torpedoed September 3rd 1939. My father subsequently served on HMS Biter and other various ships. My Grandfather served in the First World War, I think in the Argyll & Sutherland Reg. He did not talk too much about what happened, but I think he was captured at some time by the Germans.
