220754 Pte. Henry "Snowy" Collinson British Army HMHS St David Royal Army Medical Corps (d.24th Jan 1944) The only thing about my father's service record which is known to me, is that he died when the St David was sunk at Anzio. His name was Henry Collinson My Uncle Billy was also on board. As he went up to put a patient into the lifeboat, he met my father going below to evacuate another patient. Just then the ship received a direct hit, she sank very quickly. Uncle Billy survived, my father did not. I believe my father was a member of the surgical team. Anzio is only mentioned briefly in war stories, being overshadowed by the events at Monte Casino. So really any details of the St Davids is not know.
