He passed away in 2000 and never talked to me about this. I found papers that show he had started the paper work for Foreign Claims Settlement Commission's Holocaust Survivors Claims Program. I'm trying to find out anything I can about my dad and also this claim.

Charles Stretch . Royal Navy HMS Sirius I met Charlie Stretch about ten years ago, and through our research a marine called Pat Smith got in touch. He used to live in Birmingham but had emigrated to Florida after the war.
It turned out that he knew my grandfather Des Jones, and he has broke his nose in a boxing match on board HMS Sirius.
Pat came over from Florida a couple of years ago to see his family in Birmingham.
I picked up Pat Smith and then Charlie Stretch and took them for a pint.
It was the first time that each of them had met a fellow shipmate from HMS Sirius since they were demobbed.
It was great to see these two old sailor's reminiscing about their days on board HMS Sirius.

Ronnie Strike . Royal Navy Aurora Penelope Spartan I believe my father, Ronnie Strike, who was a Radio Office "sparkie" sailed and was sunk on Aurora. Unfortunately he now has Alzheimer's. I can't be sure, but I believe he once told me that he sailed on:
Aurora, Penelope, Spartan and (I think) one of the "Tonipandy Class."
Does anyone know of anyway I can confirm this? Sometimes he can talk quite lucidly of his Royal Navy days.
