Sig. Jarvis "Jim" Boam MiD.
Royal Navy HMS Havock
from:Nottingham
My father, Signalman Jarvis Boam, served on H.M.S Havock and spent time in the Laghouat camp. He spent his 21st birthday in solitary confinement for trying to escape. I have a few photos of him and other internee's and the battles in that area. Sadly Dad passed away in 1969, aged 48, so I'm not able to get any other information.
