264734 Able Sea. Albert William "Bim or Dolly" Gray Royal Navy HMS Manchester from:Portsmouth Unfortunately, my father-in-law, Albert Gray, passed away a few years ago, so I can only state that he was on board HMS Manchester when it was torpedoed by an e boat in the Med on the way to Malta, and he ended up swimming to the North African coast, where he was arrested by the Vichy French, and taken to Laghouat Prison where he spent some time, before, I believe, he was liberated by the Americans. He returned to the UK on a troop ship, only to be assigned to another ship after just two weeks leave! My mother-in-law told us that he never received any of the letters or food parcels that she sent him, presumably taken and consumed by the Vichy French. What horrible people they must have been!!
