Stkr. James Thomas "Jimmy" Duffet

Royal Navy HMS Pintail

from:Camberwell, London

(d.10th June 1941)

My great uncle, James Duffett, was lost on the Pintail. A favourite of his mum she had previously given him a gold St Christopher medal to keep him safe, but being superstitious he'd never wanted to take it to sea. When he was on leave just prior to joining HMS Pintail she had secretly cut the lining of his jacket and sewed the medal into the inside of his coat. Sadly, he never returned.
