Anyone remember Douglas Holmes?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

My grandad Douglas Holmes sadly passed away on 18/3/2013, he was a Royal Marine during ww2 and survived the sinking of HMS Penelope when she was sunk 18/2/1944 of Anzio. He also served on HMS Spartan and HMS Ajax.

He married my Grandma in 1946, who was from Little London, later they moved to Birley

My Grandma was Mary Cutts daughter of Clara and Jim Cutts also of Little London

I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers him either from his Marine service or from being a born and bred Sheffielder

 

Thanks Rachael

Hi TicTac

Apologies but I can't reply, I need to have more postings.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to me it's much appreciated

No my Grandad lived on Thornbridge Cresent, but his father Fred was a bookies runner I believe
