Stk. Joe Rogers
Royal Navy HMS Cairo
from:Kingston upon Hull
My father, Joe Rogers, was a stoker on HMS Cairo from 28th August 1939 until he was wounded in both legs by gunshot wounds on 28th May 1940 whilst he was in the sick bay, having been hit with shrapnel in his arm on 25th May 1940. I think he was then hospitalised in Narvik, Norway.
My father passed away on 24th December 1965 at the age of 57.
