Edgar Hartley
Royal Navy HMS Havock

My father, Edgar Hartley, died in 1987. Like many who fought in the war he rarely spoke of it. Only once did he open up to me and told me of the Battle of Narvik and the Mediterranean campaigns before the ship ran aground and he was interned in North Africa. He made light of his experiences and it was recently I realised the number of fights the ship had been involved in. I believe he was a gunner but am not certain.
