Stk. James Simmonds . Royal Navy HMS Nigeria  My father Jimmy Simmonds served as a stoker on the Nigeria from 1941-45. He kept a bit of a scrap-book cum photo album of the time, along with a couple of mementoes like the crest. Crew members mentioned along with photos are G.Shepherd, Buster Brown, T. Cleary, Slugger Wood, Jock Milne, McGee and J. Bergen. He joined the ship at Scapa where she was inspected by King George, and was at first on the Arctic convoys to Murmansk. In 1942 he was on the Malta convoy where the Nigeria was torpedoed. The only recollection of this time he passed on to me was how the hatches were screwed down when the torpedo hit and although terrified, like everyone there I should imagine, was too busy to be affected by it. Xmas that year was spent in Charleston U.S.A. where Nigeria had made her way for repairs. His scrapbook mentions a Capt Dundas, Capt Paton, and Capt King. Later in the war he went various places including Norway, Gib, Suez, Aden, Ceylon, Sabang, Australia, & Bombay. He was demobbed in Nov 45 and like much of his generation who had lived through a war thereafter lived life to the full. In 1974 after 40 years of marriage he died suddenly aged 61.

Pte. Peter Samual Simmonds . British Army Middlesex Regiment from 18 The Alders, Hanworth, Middlesex My uncle, Peter Simmonds joined up when he was 18 years old. He was on board the HMS Penelope as a Gunner from the Middlesex Regiment, when it sank after being hit by a German torpedo on 18th of February 1944. He was in the water for days hoping to be rescued. My mum told me a story about how her brother Peter and other men were falling asleep in the water. Dolphins came and would nudge them conscious again, this helped the men and stopped them from drowning. If any one else was told this dolphin story can they let me know.
I was also told that the ship went horizontal and my uncle could never forget the poor men below him trying to climb up, but had nothing to hang onto so they slid down the deck. This was so sad and was a memory that haunted him. When he was rescued he was taken somewhere for weeks to recover and the family had not been informed by the Navy that the ship had sunk. Luckily the family were told, before it was announced on the radio, by someone else who knew that my uncle had survived and was recovering, which was a great relief for our family.
