O'Shaughnessey |
John /Jack |
O/S |
|
|
16 |
 My late dad is listed. He joined the
navy in 1941 when aged 16. He "put his age on" to 18 to do so.
He was registered on his birth certificate as Jack O'Shaughnessy but
he was baptised as John - the priest would not allow the name Jack as
there was no saint of that name.
The day he joined up, his close friend Maurie Walker received a
telegram advising him not to report as "we know your true age". Maurie
later
joined the Hampshires and was very severely wounded in Normandy.
Maurie's dad was a merchant seaman on the Mauritania (hence the name)
whilst my grandfather was on the Aquitania in which he spent most of
WW2. Dad and granddad crossed paths in Greenock during the course of
the war.

Also in A Passage to Sword Beach, Brendan A
Maher...Returned
and after great difficulty secured to our allotted buoy in Gutter
Sound. O/S O'Shaughnessy broke his finger being buoy‑jumper and
Leading Seaman Slykes nearly succumbed to cold and was washed off the
buoy. He hung on to the shackle and was picked up and taken inboard.
No great harm suffered. |

My dad "Robert Sowerbutts" served on
the HMS Jason from 1943-45 he was a stoker (class 1 ). I think he may
have been the drunken one referred to on 24/4/44. I have his 1945
diary and this refers to a few other cases of being on
report, or having pay stopped, he was in court in Ipswich 28/6/45 and
fined 6 pounds. He was from Hanley, Stoke on Trent, and his number was
P/KX161208.
