Arthur Kendall
Royal Navy HMS Achates

(d.31st Dec 1942)
On the 31st of December 1942 HMS Achates was laying smoke to protect a convoy and was hit by the Admiral Hipper. 41 men were killed. That is probably when my Dad's twin brother Arthur Kendall was killed. My Granny said that at that moment the grandfather clock made a noise, like a crack, something brushed across the strings of the piano. The dog jumped up and ran across the room and jumped on her lap. Granny Kendall didn't make things up.
In memory of my Uncle Arthur who I never knew.
