Sto. Phillip Roy Pragnell
Royal Naval Reserve HMS Prunella
My father-in-law, Roy Pragnell, now aged 85 was one of the survivors on the raft rescued by HMS Versatile. He has a copy of the Daily Mirror photograph of the rescue. He was a stoker and being quite young, 19, worked on auxiliary machinery.
