Pte. George Shelley . British Army 6th Battalion Parachute Regiment from Hanwell (d.10th September 1943) George Shelly drowned when HMS Abdiel was sunk in Taranto harbour. I believe he would have been part of Operation Slapstick.
The gausing equipment was turned off so as not to disturb the men's sleep. An American ship that was going to berth in the harbour moved off. HMS Abdiel took its place with the subsequent explosion as a result of German ships laying mines in the harbour. George, like so many others of the war was very young, aged 24 when he died. He is buried in Bari Cemetery in Italy.

PO. Harold Jeffrey Shenker . Royal Navy HMS Voltaire My late father Harold Shenker was in the Merchant Navy prior to the war and volunteered for the Royal Navy at the outbreak of war. He was an assistant storekeeper and on HMS Voltaire in charge of issuing the daily rum tot. The irony of this was that he was teetotaler!. For some reason though he always got shore leave when no one else could.
His catch phrase was every year on 4th April to say "another year on borrowed time". He was one of the fortunate few not to be injured in the action with the Thor.
