Art. John Armstrong . Royal Navy HMS Aurora from Glasgow My later father John Armstrong, was crew member of several ships but one he always spoke about, after a few drams was HMS Aurora. Malta was a special place for him. I asked him about the `Gut` and what was it all about, his reply was `just a lot of bands playing`. I new what the gut was in these days and I think he was being polite to me. He always thought a tot of rum was a bad thing and told me a story of someone who did something to the locks to the munitions through drink.

Cpl. Robert James Armstrong . British Army Royal Northumberland Fusiliers from Callerton, Newcastle upon Tyne My father was serving abroad at the start of WW2.
I remember him telling me the company he was with were ambushed.
He was driving a lorry that went into a ditch. Everyone other than my father was killed outright. In fact he was reported as being dead for almost a year until my mother heard he was alive and a prisoner of war held at Stalag XXB.
Unfortunately my younger brother kept all the details of his number etc when our father died suddenly aged 48 and he can’t remember where he kept them. Our father could turn his hand to anything with a good singing voice, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was well known within the camp.
