(d.11th July 1944)
My great uncle, William Stone, died age 29 in Caen. He had been in the Army for some years serving in India.
The night before he left to join the troops preparing for the Normandy landings, he meet with his sister Eira Kennedy in the Crown pub in Cricklewood, London. My nan, Eira, took the sock from my 3-month-old father Vincent and put it in William's top pocket for good luck, but sadly he was never seen again.
I have taken my two sons to Banneville-la-Campagne War Cemetery where William is buried. We will always remember him.
Stokr. William John Stone . Royal Navy HMS Garth from Plymouth
(d.31st August 1940)
My mother never spoke about my father, William Stone especially after she re-married. Once I became interested it was too late to to get accurate information from her or her sisters. One story was that he was killed by an enemy aircraft as the ship came up the Thames estuary to Chatham. This is the only information I can find except details of size and construction of the ship.

GM Leland Rex "Tubby" Stonger . US Navy USS Oklahoma from Merrysville, Kansas
My father Leland Rex Stonger was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma when it was stationed at Pearl Harbor in late 1941. On Dec 1, 1941, he left Pearl Harbor for 30 days leave. A cargo ship took him from Hawaii to California. After arriving, he began hitchhiking back to Kansas. During that time, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor happened. His family received a telegram from the military stating that he was missing in action. A day or two later he walked into his parents' home in Kansas. They were totally shocked to see him alive and well. We have a newspaper clipping with a picture of his family hugging him. I’m sure he was in trouble with them for not calling home as soon as he heard about the Pearl Harbor attack!
He was ordered back from leave immediately and was then assigned to the USS Boise. He served 16 years, most of the time aboard a ship. He served in both WW2 and the Korean War, and was a true patriot until the day he died.
