George Topsy Turner
Royal Navy HMS Sirius
My father, George "Topsy" Turner served on board H.M.S. Sirius as a gunner in one of the forward turrets. He has now passed on but he did bring back some memoirs of his time aboard H.M.S.Sirius. Such as a ships bible - a battle penant and a cap band from the german warship Prinz Eugen. I also seem to recall him making a mention of saving the ships cat in a cap after a torpedo attack.
